Death in the sleep nation lyrics

We talk in whispers 'Cause we're scared to speak too loud You lie beside me Like you're trying not to drown I trace your heartbeat Just to check you're still the same Love feels heavy When you're scared it might fade Hidden in a place where no one wakes up But somehow you walk right through my hesitation Pull me out when everything feels stuck I've been quiet, I've been breaking But you hear every vibration Yeah, you make me feel like I'm death in the sleep nation– I'm not the easiest You know I shut down when I'm scared You touch my shoulder Tell me: Breathe, I'm still right here You don't fix me You just sit with all my mess And in a world that never listens You're the one who hears me best And you look at me like I'm worth Something more than the past I drag 'Cause you make me feel like I'm death in the sleep nation– Like I've been forgotten by the noise outside But then you pull me back into the conversation Make me feel alive where my fears hide I've been quiet, I've been shaking But you don't need explanation Yeah, you make me feel like I'm death in the sleep nation– Maybe I'm not easy to hold But you never run, never fold You see the parts I don't show And you don't call them broken You call them home You make me feel like I'm death in the sleep nation– But your hands bring me back to life slow You don't fear my hesitation You just say: I already know And if the world stops waking I'll still choose your constellation– Not the stars Just your arms Just your breath And your patience Like I've been forgotten by the noise outside But then you pull me back into the conversation Make me feel alive where my fears hide I've been quiet, I've been shaking But you don't need explanation Yeah, you make me feel like I'm death in the sleep nation
