[Verse 1: Ed Sheeran]
~#**************#~
I seem to find myself talking to the powers that be
~#**************#~
Awaking the shade and shadowed under towering trees
~#**************#~
Admiring the scene, inhaling fumes of flowers that breathe
~#**************#~
Jet lagged eyes are begging for an hour to sleep
~#**************#~
Although my bloodshot whites and irises they never find any
~#**************#~
Clock stops at times where the sun shine can blind many
~#**************#~
Although my eyes are heavy, they wont be closing soon
~#**************#~
Cause I heard that time waits for nobody, I suppose its true
~#**************#~
We make corrosive tunes with acid tabs and vocal booths
~#**************#~
To see the flashing lights at photo shoots, we make our motive moves
~#**************#~
I say whatever I feel to vent a rhyme
~#**************#~
So I can still invent the lines and stay close to the friends of mine
~#**************#~
Cause real recognise real is what my father says
~#**************#~
And Ill be sticking to this phrase until I pass away
~#**************#~
Overworking, no sleep is just another way to die slow
~#**************#~
But Ill just keep going strong and never let my eyes close
~#**************#~
[Verse 2: Devlin]
~#**************#~
5 oclock with lights off, interview with a vampire
~#**************#~
Sleep is for the living and not a utensil that I require
~#**************#~
I swear I said, that Ill sleep when Im dead
~#**************#~
Whos on the beat upon the feature with Ed?
~#**************#~
Its D-E-V to the Zed
~#**************#~
Over tired, pale faced like Michael Myers
~#**************#~
Bags underneath my eyes can show the baggage Ive acquired
~#**************#~
And over the time within this maze I think youll find youll
~#**************#~
Never find that peace of mind you seek to find until youre dying
~#**************#~
Cause I got too much to stay awake for
~#**************#~
To sleep, or even take four seconds out the game, its time to wage war
~#**************#~
Scissors, grab a sword, and sharpen up your hunting knives
~#**************#~
Two psychopathic lyricists are driving on the hunt tonight
~#**************#~
Im hailing from the Essex and the East London border line
~#**************#~
Villans never sleep, they mastermind in all sorts of crimes
~#**************#~
Be wide awake just like youre snorting lines
~#**************#~
Or get left mortified like you just seen the ghost of Jesus walking by
~#**************#~
[Hook: Ed Sheeran]
~#**************#~
I never sleep
~#**************#~
When trouble steals thoughts from a restless mind for free
~#**************#~
It could be
~#**************#~
The times Im living in
~#**************#~
I never sleep
~#**************#~
When trouble steals thoughts from a restless mind for free
~#**************#~
It could be
~#**************#~
The times Im living in lately
~#**************#~
[Verse 3: Ed Sheeran]
~#**************#~
I brush my teeth every night but still I wake up with a bad mouth
~#**************#~
And the background is my past and my presence will bring it back out
~#**************#~
Deliver the raps how I flow, I live with the rats now and those
~#**************#~
That hate me call me Ron but they wont slither in too easy
~#**************#~
Believe me Im snake minded, be within this great time, be
~#**************#~
On minimum wage, life is a prison escape that Im in
~#**************#~
Its all to do with timing not the label that you sign with
~#**************#~
Then my mates are doing fine but then they never put the time in
~#**************#~
I try to hide my cold side like when I flip my pillows
~#**************#~
Some of the songs I write are real because the charts are filled with si-li-cone
~#**************#~
Im still broke without the money for a Mac Pro
~#**************#~
Living out of three bags, no talk about my cash flow
~#**************#~
Opposite of sober cause I never did my homework
~#**************#~
Which has got me on the sofa, no degree but growing older
~#**************#~
I played a fool to catch the wise, I will never tell a lie
~#**************#~
I wake dead, take deep breaths, try to never die (never die)
~#**************#~
[Verse 4: Devlin]
~#**************#~
Two guys with the same view, keep it tight like Scrooge
~#**************#~
Making metaphors flow and move, like typhoons and tunes
~#**************#~
And if we got our eyes on you, well catch you while you snooze
~#**************#~
Times elapsing while youre catching Zeds, the masses like to move
~#**************#~
We scan the situation, analyse information
~#**************#~
And then decide what probably is most practical to do
~#**************#~
Driven young gentlemen, Ive hardly changed my bed sheets
~#**************#~
At all over the last 12 months cause I havent slept in em, true
~#**************#~
Im coming home, the lights are on, your rights are wrong, so Im correcting em
~#**************#~
We got the fans all like, “Oh wow its Devs and Ed”
~#**************#~
What less did you bloody expect from em?”
~#**************#~
In the end sleep deprivation might just be our detriment
~#**************#~
Fighting through writers block from 9 oclock to 5 oclock
~#**************#~
And no way will I ever waste a second of the time I got
~#**************#~
I keep my pupils engaged
~#**************#~
Like a classroom in holy matrimony, but Im only trying to stay awake
~#**************#~
[Hook]
~#**************#~
I never sleep
~#**************#~
When trouble steals thoughts from a restless mind for free
~#**************#~
It could be
~#**************#~
The times Im living in
~#**************#~
I never sleep
~#**************#~
When trouble steals thoughts from a restless mind for free
~#**************#~
It could be
~#**************#~
The times Im living in lately
~#**************#~
I never sleep
~#**************#~
When trouble steals thoughts from a restless mind for free
~#**************#~
It could be
~#**************#~
The times Im living in
~#**************#~
I never sleep
~#**************#~
When trouble steals thoughts from a restless mind for free
~#**************#~
It could be
~#**************#~
The times Im living in lately
