Schwa Lyrics

Sleepfast

Lyricist: John Mullins
Vocalist: John Mullins

See when I'm awake
A fool taking for granted the stakes
All this time to believe
So much more than there is to conceive
It's not a chore but a chime
The idea that just flowed through your mind
Let it spread, fill your head
Fill the cloud, ad nauseum
But it grows,  can you let it go

I have a friend in the reality
Keeps me grounded within my electricity
But always search for the ground
Love cannot be harnessed, it can only be found
Love is found, then it's lost
The price we pay to find what love costs
In your arms infatuated charms
Soaking breeze through the glowing trees
Love is strong and you turn around and it's gone

It's a  give, it's a take
Ideas to embrace and rules to berate
All these rules, so unfair
One for every dreadlock in your hair
Become the age of majority
Then we'll do exactly as we please
Shed your skin, take a breath
Worked your life, take a rest
It's just like moving on to spite
All that we have to leave in our life
