Night Terrors

[Verse 1]
Sometimes I think all I have to do is keep us alive
Whatever happens, just make it till the morning light
Inhale, exhale, and repeat until dawn
But the hours have been dragging, dragging on

I can't sleep while I'm counting your every breath
Your chest heaves, there’s a rhythm, there’s a pattern I guess
Meaning, breathing, all dissolves in doubt
And the night terrors got you screaming out

[Chorus]
We're sleeping with the light on
Willing the dark to pass
It only seems to last, to last
We're sleeping with the light on
Willing the dark to pass
It only seems to last, to last

[Verse 2 ]
You wanna find your salvation in reason?
And eulogize on the absence of meaning?
Reason hasn't ruled here in a long time
You'd never know if you’ve been comfortably sleeping

What's it like to never worry if you'll live through the night?
Must be nice — nothing like this restless, weak, wild-eyed
Strung out, wrung out, parasomniac
It's a given: This is living, this is how we react

[Chorus]
We're sleeping with the light on
Willing the dark to pass
It only seems to last, to last
We're sleeping with the light on
Willing the dark to pass
It only seems to last, to last
