Lyrics Walking Asleep - Peter Katz

Walking Asleep

Woke to winter through my window falling
Though I swore it was spring
I could measure the progress stalling
In the snow covering
I’m walking asleep now through the best of my life
I’m wearing my knees out digging for light
There’s a crack in the wall and the ceiling
And a door that won’t close
There is a stack in the hall that’s revealing
Something I ought to know
I’m walking asleep now through the best of my life
I’m wearing my knees out digging for light
I’m trying to break now, the collar’s too tight
I’m walking asleep now
Through the best of my life
I spent the night as an endless day
Said goodnight, and good morning from the same chair
And the city, came to life
Before my eyes, one by one
Persons become people
People become crowds
And silence became loud
So I went out to run with no direction in mind
Just a need to be done with the toeing the line
So I climbed up the hill and I ran through the street
And I said not a word though my lungs did repeat
I’m not walking asleep now though the best of my life
I’m not wearing my knees out digging for light
I am learning to breath now though the collar is tight
I’m not walking asleep now
Through the best of my life
