Sleeping
Chelsea Wolfe Lyrics
He told me
You best not be
Sleeping around
Within a maze
Whores and fleas
You better take a caution
Make a smart choice
Just for once in your life
We're sleeping here
We're sleeping here
We're sleeping here
Where nothing's real
Where we can wallow
In our fears
We're sleeping here
Live a life
You wake you die
Live it's real
Cause it's so clear
Fear reality
Cause its obscene
I just can't seem
To feel what's real anymore
So don't ask questions
Don't ask why
Live a life
You wake you die
We're sleeping here
We're sleeping here
Don't you wake us
We're sleeping here
Where nothing's real
Where we can wallow
In our fears
We're sleeping here
We're sleeping here
We're sleeping here
Don't you wake us
We're sleeping here
Where nothing's real
Where we can wallow
In our fears
We're sleeping here
Live a life
You wake you die
Live a life
You wake you die

Chelsea Joy Wolfe was born in Roseville, California, and grew up in Sacramento. She is of Norwegian and German descent. Her father was in a country band and owned a home studio. By the age of 7, she had written her first poem and by the age of 9, she had written and recorded songs which she later described as "basically Casio-based gothy R&B songs."
Inspired by the dark state of the world and the strange connection between all things, she creates a unique musical blend of goth-folk, experimental rock and spiritual realm funeral songs. With influences ranging from the great minds of Ingmar Bergman and David Lynch to Soviet and end-times literature, her songs conjure visions of other dimensions, claustrophobic echo-rooms and parking garage cathedrals.
Wolfe has recorded seven full length studio albums: The Grime and the Glow, which was released on December 28th, 2010 on limited vinyl through Brooklyn’s Pendu Sound Recordings; Ἀποκάλυψις (pronounced “Apokalypsis”), which was released as a 12” LP on August 23rd, 2011; Unknown Rooms: a Collection of Acoustic Songs, which was released on October, 2012 through Sargent House; Pain Is Beauty, out September 3rd, 2013; Abyss, which was released August 7th, 2015; and Hiss Spun, out September 22nd, 2017; Birth of Violence[7i] which was released on September 13th, 2019.

[Verse 1]
He told me, "You best not be
Sleeping around with enemies"
Whores and fleas, you better take precautions
Make a smart choice just for once in your life
[Chorus]
We're sleeping here, we're sleeping here
Don't you wake us, we're sleeping here
Where nothing's real, where we can wallow
In our fears, we're sleeping here
[Verse 2]
You live a lie, you wake, you die
Live a dream 'cause it's so clean
Fear reality 'cause it's obscene
I just can't seem to feel what's real, anymore
So, don't ask questions, don't ask why
You live a lie, you wake, you die
[Chorus]
We're sleeping here, we're sleeping here
Don't you wake us, we're sleeping here
Where nothing's real, where we can wallow
In our fears, we're sleeping here
We're sleeping here, we're sleeping here
Don't you wake us, we're sleeping here
Where nothing's real, where we can wallow
In our fears, we're sleeping here
[Outro]
You live a lie, you wake, you die
You live a lie, you wake, you die

I appreciate how different this is from her other stuff. She can do anything. I do like other albums much better though.

@Guro Girl and It makes sense, thank u
Guro Girl
Gabriel Facundo I’ve always thought it was smart instead of small (choice just for once in your life)
Teketa Shine
This album is by far her best, It is so authentic and unpolished. I really love the emotions expressed through her in this older stuff.
Teketa Shine
I’m pretty sure she didn’t like that she wrote straightforward lyrics instead of something more veiled. I think that if I hadn’t heard this I couldn’t emotionally attach myself to her later works.
Emily Rose
I am really wondering if she just made that up (subconsciously) because she did not want to release this so personal stuff. I am usually more into more into heavier dark stuff but I really like this album or songs form it, especially this song. I would not call it unpolished but absolutely authentic and I think the raw personal emotions are what made this great "funny" (or not) that is is also the reason she did never officially release this. I would never imagine something like this by just listening to her recent stuff, but reading about her this made perfect sense.
I bet may fans beg her to actually (re)release this. I am also curious how this "never released" album made it out there. Was it leaked?
