Verse 1:
I write tons of poems
Poems in my head
To keep me from my problems and truths that I’ll never address
And I wish you could peel, peel back my skin
To see behind my cold eyes so you feel what I feel in my head
She overdosed, and not by mistake
When your ma tries to take her own life how the fuck do you speak about it?
Chorus:
Talking in my sleep
It’s terrifying me
Tortured every night
Frozen in my dreams
I built this castle strong so I can keep the pain inside
But it takes over me
I’m talking in my sleep
Verse 2:
Come here and take, take me by the hand
Don’t mind the scars that they have from the fights and the things I regret
I chewed on the pain, becoming a man
I am selfish and numb I’m just doing the best that I can
Too proud to address my insecure debts
I’ll just keep playing god and ignore all the help I should get
Chorus:
Talking in my sleep
It’s terrifying me
Tortured every night
Frozen in my dreams
I built this castle strong so I can keep the pain inside
But it takes over me
I’m talking in my sleep
Bridge:
(I’m talking, I’m talking)
I’m talking in my sleep
(I’m talking, I’m talking)
I write what I feel
And songs about sex
To take me from the fringes, the outskirts where I always am
I always push
Everyone away
But the world has been cruel, if you knew me then you’d understand
(Hey)
Chorus:
Talking in my sleep
It’s terrifying me
Tortured every night
Frozen in my dreams
I built this castle strong so I can keep the pain inside
But it takes over me
I’m talking in my sleep
(I’m talking, I’m talking)
I’m talking in my sleep
(I’m talking, I’m talking)
