Discover the story of the song > Sleeping Sickness – City and Colour

The protagonist wakes up feeling like he can't breathe and his dreams are not what they should be. He is afraid to sleep because of his fears and uncertainties. He asks for someone to come and save his life because he's breaking down and he wonders if his misery will be enough. The lyrics are about feeling lost and alone, and hoping for someone to help save him.
