The Wild Reeds Fall To Sleep Lyrics

[Intro]

[Verse 1]
We rise up late again
The mornings when the truth really seeps in
We're all just trying to get by
Rushing to our 9 to 5s

We're living at the top of the night
Feet up against the window as we take a drive
Staring up at stars, I'm losing sense of the time
Not worried about the morning light

Starting to see the morning light

[Chorus]
Fall to sleep, hold on to something sweet
It's the only place where you can hide
From your own conscious mind

[Instrumental]

[Verse 3]
The gaslight is on again
Scrap the bottom of my purse to try and fill it
And I know that I'll be alright
If I can just make it to my 9 to 5

All your friends tell you that you'll be fine
You're strong and they're not worried, it's a matter of time
But I'm worried about myself
And I'm worried about my mental health

[Chorus]
Fall to sleep, hold on to something sweet
It's the only place where you can hide
From your own conscious mind

[Instrumental]

[Verse 3]
The hardest part is getting out
Of the traps we set ourselves
When courage is a gamble and the future is a bet
I got too much down on who I was
And not enough on who I am

[Solo / Outro]
