I Live To Fall Asleep

Manic Street Preachers · Lifeblood [2004]

I live to fall asleep

its when i stop the hate

I never want to dream

it infiltrates beauty

I live to fall asleep

regenerate and sin

skin so tense gives in

I've lived enough to kill



when did you become another distant friend

everyone who loved you stayed waited till the end

when did you become another distant friend

everyone who loved you stayed waited till the end

when did you decide that sleep could save your life

how could you become another boy struck down with love



I live to fall asleep

I live to fall asleep



I live to fall asleep it helps me through the day

drink is never dulled a pain so deep does run

I live to fall asleep serene alone happy

holding on to screams waiting for the time



when did you become another distant friend

everyone who loved you stayed waited till the end

when did you become another distant friend

everyone who loved you stayed waited till the end

when did you decide that sleep could save your life

how could you become another boy struck down with love



I live to fall asleep

I live to fall asleep



so lazy lazy lazy

chuck down all the pills

needing to remember how and why to live

when did you decide that sleep could save your life

how could you become another boy struck down with love



I live to fall asleep

I live to fall asleep
