sleepwalk (santos and johnny)

The first single from the upcoming record "altered state" in which I turn up the amps and get loud again.

LYRICS:
gotta find a way to get through the day
gotta learn to do more than medicate
gotta walk and talk and stay awake
tired of being tired with a headache

will to survive
kill or feel alive
trying not to die again

always find me lost inside a broken brain
hoping i can face another sunday morning
i am not my sickness
if i made it through the worst
can it just get better?
maybe i am wired to self-destruct
all of this desire is never enough
how can i get through this
when i can’t sleep
why must i always feel incomplete?

trying

wow i can't believe i covered this recently.  well, okay, i can admit that i'm a sucker for a schmaltzy romantic ballad.

heaven (bryan adams)
