Orchid Mantis “I Could Live In Sleep” Lyrics:

it was all a gamble anyways
chasing what you know won’t stay here
no one’s ever really in control
i forget that, hurts to fall back

into disenchanted mind
terminally unoccupied
and fate plays its games with you
dream was gone before the dream came true
these days i feel so tired
terminally unoccupied
think i could live in sleep
no concern for what you want to be
isn’t anything
here for just a moment
then terminally free

and i know you tried
to change your mind
to glow despite how
time just takes it all
i’ll be fine
there’s still no time
for us to make it right

i’ll make it out
the sun is down
my mind is empty
you never meant
for it to end
you never wanted this

three whole months trapped in my mind
terminally unoccupied
and i wander out until dawn
until all the feeling is gone and
there’s no peace and there’s no time
terminally unoccupied
think i could live in sleep
no concern for what you want to be
isn’t anything
here for just a moment
then terminally free
