Was I born to sink into this couch
and watch my whole life bleed its purpose out?
Around me, insects follow patterns to their deaths
while I waste my precious breath on another second guess

I'm afraid, I'm afraid of sleeping
I'm afraid, I'm afraid of sleeping in
I feel so dead to the world
Just tell me where do I begin?
Cause I'm afraid, I'm afraid of breathing in

These nightmares are so weird!
It's like I'm drowning at the bottom of a bottle of beer.
That my father sips between the humorous quips
of the late night comedy news shows he frequents.

And I wake up with the devil in my sheets
I took to her shoulders asking "was it good for me?"

I'm afraid, I'm afraid of sleeping
I'm afraid, I'm afraid of sleeping in
I feel so dead to the world
Just tell me where do I begin?
Cause I'm afraid, I'm afraid of breathing in

If only I were present than I could be the president!
If only I were present than I could be the president!

I'm afraid, I'm afraid of sleeping
I'm afraid, I'm afraid of sleeping in
I feel so dead to the world
Just tell me where do I begin?
Cause I'm afraid, I'm afraid of breathing in
