lyrics

Take away the sleep,
you can keep the dreams.
oh, take away the fatigue

take away the sleep
you can keep the dreams
take away the fatigue
let me be awake

this is the
age of constant tiredness
tiredness
this is the age of constant tiredness

one blames it on themself
one blames it on the weather
on exhaustion or boredom

all that comes is sleep

take away the sleep
you can keep the dreams
oh take away the sleep
you can keep the dreams
oh,
take the fatigue
take it away
I don’t want to have this drowse
laying over me


the drowse that is not necessarily
my own drowse
but it takes a bite of me

you can blame it on the self
you can blame it on the weather
but it’s you who’s tired, isn’t it

take away the sleep
oh, take away the slumber
you can keep the dreams
but I do not want to be so tired.

why is this time so fatigued
how long can we carry on
this drowse is taking its toll
the blanket of the numb

am I a fraud? for feeling this?
am I fraud?
am I afraid?

take away the sleep
you can keep the dreams
oh, take away the sleep
you can keep the dreams

oh, take away this tiredness
let me leave this age of fatigue
the drowse
is overtaking me

you can blame it on yourself
on the weather
on the boredom
why’s the world so tired?
are we living in the numb?

just take away the sleep
you can keep the dreams
just let me sleep
