While I Was Asleep Lyrics

Brian Borcherdt While I Was Asleep

Oh the hollow guts
Will get fed somehow.
Pick the last few crumbs
From the tired mouths.

And while I was asleep
They tried to rescue me.
Said "please, just let me be".

All the important words
They start to sound the same.
All these useless thoughts,
They just crowd my brain.

And while I was asleep
They tried to rescue me.
Said "please, oh please, just let me be.
just let me... sleep".
