Half Asleep
School of Seven Bells Lyrics

Sometimes I go whole days
Occasionally, there are times when I spend entire days

Listening bored, half sleep
Feeling disinterested and partially asleep while listening

I won't say anything
I choose to remain silent

That's worth a thing to me
As there is nothing valuable to express

One day, suddenly, time
Unexpectedly, a day emerged when time

Took a turn that once felt so brief
Changed direction, which formerly appeared short

I blinked to see polite ghosts fading quickly
I blinked and noticed that courteous ghosts were disappearing rapidly

What begins as an unguarded
Initially, it starts as an unfiltered

Train of thoughts slowly can become
Train of thoughts which gradually transforms into

An addiction to the slumber
A dependency on the state of unconsciousness

Of disconnection and the resonance
Of detachment and echo

Of memory that no longer has a shape
Of a memory that has lost its form

But keeps you numb through
Yet, it makes you unfeeling from

The hours till gone is another day
The passing hours until another day is over

Be aware, my darling
Please pay attention, my dear

These things I say I mean
These words I speak carry significance

Are just traces of something
However, they are remains of a feeling

I long to feel again
That I yearn to experience once again

I see our time expand
I visualize our moments enlarging

In the air almost forcibly,
Almost aggressively existing in the atmosphere

Spreading thinner till it dissolves completely
Diluting so gradually until it completely vanishes
