Half Awake from Half Truths by Aaron Schroeder

04 Half Awake

Thieves in the back of my head are never enough
It’s awkward to wait for love, I guess

No one has it in for me
Walk into bloodless walls
Once saw a window to escape through

Thieves in the back of my head
Feet tied to skates and fainting
A glass case to show off your shame
A flyer won’t tell them your name

I’m half awake
Practicing diving or waiting in the pool
Half awake
Something to take apart
I can’t put back
Every savage night a repeat of savage days
Where I’m half awake
I’m half awake

Thieves in the back of my head were never away
I’m throwing what’s left into a castle flaming out

I don’t know what to say
I’m counting on you to tell me now
I don’t know what to save

No one has it in for me
Horoscope predictions wronged
Surrounded by roses and phone calls I tried to ruin myself

Half awake
Something to take apart
I can’t put back
Half awake
We no longer see the same world at all
Half awake
Practicing diving or waiting in the pool
Half awake
Inside a palace run by evil gremlins
Savage night just a repeat of our savage days
Where I’m half awake
I’m half awake
