Tender – Fear Of Falling Asleep lyrics

[Intro]
It's not bad that you can't fall asleep
It's not bad that you're scared of the dark
It's just something you're born with I guess

[Verse 1]
This hold on me, I'm terrified
Feel so alone
The dark won't swallow me yet, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
As it spreads like a parasite

[Pre-Chorus]
And as I lay here in my bed at night
The only thing that's truly mine
Is my fear of falling asleep
And not waking up

[Chorus]
Oh, feel the sunshine on your face
'Cause it will come to end
Like a river dries without the rain
Will you witness me in a pit of fire
Or a blazing light atop a golden spire?
Sing oh
Oh, everything comes to an end
But I can live with that
But I can live with that

[Verse 2]
I bury my head in the sand
And go on acting like it's all gone to plan
And I feel the sweat dripping down my neck
Pretend it hasn't happened then
It hasn't happened yet

[Pre-Chorus]
And as I lay here in my bed at night
The only thing that's truly mine
Is my fear of falling asleep
And not waking up

[Chorus]
Oh, feel the sunshine on your face
'Cause it will come to end
Like a river dries without the rain
Will you witness me in a pit of fire
Or a blazing light atop a golden spire?
Sing oh
Oh, everything comes to an end
But I can live with that

[Chorus]
Oh, feel the sunshine on your face
'Cause it will come to end
Like a river dries without the rain
Will you witness me in a pit of fire
Or a blazing light atop a golden spire?
Sing oh
Oh, Everything comes to an end
But I can live with that
But I can live with that

[Outro]
But I can live with that
But I can live with that
But I can live with that
But I can live with that
