"Self-Sedation" lyrics

"Self-Sedation"

Some are born to endless night
I'd say my namesake got that right
I wake up before the dawn
To start my dreaming of you

I don't know what I want to be
The mirror just stares back at me
And now with time not on my side
I know it's make or break

It was fortune that I found you
Could exist and be around you
From a breakdown to a breakthrough
No more doubt nor hesitation
Getting high on self-sedation
Living life in isolation

Now I don't know where I belong
But I can see you through the throng
If I could find a way to you
You know that I would take it

This life is hard, it isn't long
And I so often get things wrong
If you would keep me in your heart
You know I'd never break it

It was fortune that I found you
Could exist and be around you
From a breakdown to a breakthrough
No more doubt nor hesitation
Getting high on self-sedation
Living life in isolation

It was fortune that I found you
Could exist and be around you
From a breakdown to a breakthrough
No more doubt nor hesitation
Getting high on self-sedation
Living life in isolation
