Oh, Sleeper

Wonder who do I need to be today
They don't need to change, I'll relate
No matter what you have to say
It will be okay with me
No need to overcomplicate

So what's on your mind?
'Cause I'm not sure that I know what's on mine
It'll be so much easier to follow you this time
I'll pretend that I don't mind

What do I gain from acquiescence?
Constant social evanescence
Armed with my imagination
I forget about contention

Should I be more open, surrender my emotions?
Why can't everyone be happy, lost in reverie?
See what I mean?

There's no need to get angry if you close your eyes
It'll be so much easier to keep it all inside
I'll deny and avoid the fight

'Cause I see where you're coming from
But it's clear that I can't see right or wrong
I can't decide what side I'm on
When I try to hear my voice, it's gone
I'll ignore the raging war within my soul
To keep the peace

There's a piece of me that knows his name
Every once in a while he’ll show his face
And when he does, he’ll have something to say
And he’ll say it like an anthem
But for now I'll overcompensate to save face

'Cause I see where you're coming from
But it's clear that I can't see right or wrong
I can't decide what side I'm on
When I'm trying to hear my voice, it's gone
I'll ignore the raging war within my soul
To keep the peace of mind

She's right in front of my eyes or just a lie
It'll be so much easier to take a walk outside
Save it all for another time
Or never mention it again

I'm calling off the surrender
Awake, oh sleeper
To keep the peace I may need to speak up
Wage a war, trust the voice within my soul
To keep the peace

Oh, Sleeper
