christen orfe - tired lyrics

[verse 1]
i had a dream
i was young
my hair was tangled in my lungs
my feet were chalk on a board
and the lips around my mouth were
somewhat yours

i never dream
dreams are for folks
who dwell on roses and sleep in turns
i had a wonder
oh, what if the seas
that fill my cups, turned their backs on their ships?

[chorus]
and i’m tired, not tired enough
like a portrait on the wall gaining dust
only seeing some faces sometimes
that only spare for it
a glance of their time

[verse 2]
i had a dream there were couples and toasts (oh h+ll no)
that hid in gardens, playing with notes (oh dear god!)
the glass was shattered and they all turned to me
but feeling visible is not feeling free (i’m not feeling free)
[pre+chorus]
and the axe in my hand did the deed (you did it, you did it!)
and the parents would take away their kids (yes, take away your kids)
so they won’t see their pitchforks in hand
won’t see the th+rns and the blood
that they’ll be taking out of me

[chorus]
and i’m tired, not tired enough
like a mirror looking out for the flaws
in that face of yours you put to court
to be judged by a failure
by an unwritten law

[bridge]
could you, maybe, look through all that
to my beating glass of a heart
could you, maybe, take it into your hands
but dropping it means death and i’m not ready to leave this h+ll
behind

[post+chorus]
and i’m tired but i’m not tired enough
i’m tired but i’m not tired enough
to not keep this sh+t up
to not keep this sh+t up
no i’m not tired enough to not keep this sh+t up
and oh, i’m tired but i’m not tired enough
oh, i’m tired but i’m not tired enough
to not keep this sh+t up
to not keep this sh+t up
no i’m not tired enough to not keep this sh+t up
for you
