Sleepwalk
Mogli the Iceburg Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

If I close my eyes and then I die before I wake
and now I'm fighting off the doubt that what I trust is a
mistake Cause I don't see no fruit
and everything's affecting how I feel
and all these people around me keep on telling me that you ain't real
and I can't see much past the fog that's in my face and in my eyes
My faith was on my sleeve, I took it off with my disguise
Instead of focusing my energy on You and what I should be
I kept on thinking what I could be
yeah

Don't run away
Just cause you don't understand
Come talk to me
I know you don't think you can
Sleepwalk to me
Sleepwalk to me
Sleepwalk to me
Sleepwalk
Running with the night girl
Running with the night girl
Running with the night girl
(there's a monster waiting in the morning)
Running with the night girl

A little bit older
A little bit colder
And I start to think that maybe I'm just outta touch
These fans all dap me
I try to be happy
If I'm honest, I don't even really feel that much
Yeah
But appearances are everything
It's been that way bout from the start of it
Yeah
I almost gave this girl a wedding ring
But we ain't had the right heart in it
Now I'm filling up the void, recording raps over noise
Trying to empty out my heart before it's fully destroyed
Tryna search my soul to find out what I truly believe
Maybe I'm not as certain as I once thought I could be
But healing hands and minute hands are one in the same
I write a rhyme to right a mind, you know what I'm sayin'
All the emotions in motion poking a hole in my brain
Right now I'm broken and I'm just hopin' that something will change
Ya feel me?

Don't run away
Just cause you don't understand
Come talk to me
I know you don't think you can
Sleepwalk to me
Sleepwalk to me
Sleepwalk to me
Sleepwalk
Running with the night girl
Running with the night girl
Running with the night girl
(there's a monster waiting in the morning)
Running with the night girl

And I'm not alone
I'm not alone
I'm not alone no more no, no
And I'm not alone
I'm not alone
I'm not alone no more no more
I'm not alone
I'm not alone
I'm not alone no, no, no, no
I'm not alone




I'm not alone
I'm not alone no more no more
