lyrics

I’ve been looking for a reason
To look the other way
Been waiting here forever
It’s getting so old, it’s getting late

Even in the snowlight I can see
That this habit’s not healthy
So let’s wake ‘em up, I’ll wake ‘em up
My Sleeping Dogs

Still holding patterns tightly
Unholy ritual is nothing new
Drinking and stress-eating
More than I can chew

Even in the witching hour I see
That this tradition might kill me
So let’s wake ‘em up, I’ll wake ‘em up
My Sleeping Dogs

Honestly, I need honesty
Because it always takes the piss outta me
No, I don’t need a reason to get happy

Didn’t think I wanted to -
But I’m gonna face my face
And wake ‘em up, I’ll wake ‘em up
My Sleeping Dogs

I’ve been looking for a reason
To look the other way
Been waiting here forever
It’s getting so old, it’s getting late

Even in the dead of night I see
That this routine is killing me
So let’s wake ‘em up, I’ll wake ‘em up
My Sleeping Dogs
