Requiem for a Lucid Dream

The window to my soul is in the eyes shut
The pillow alone, empty, cold is all I've got
A tortured brain screams
Reality became too grim to stand for
This is no lucid dream
It's a fucked-up nightmare going on and on and on

Please put me under
I am hostage to the clockwork
I'm torn asunder
The carnage of the reason

Sleep – Sandman take my soul
Sleep – Come and switch it all off
Hurt and haunted – The ticking never ends
This life is a requiem

Sleep – Sandman take my soul
Sleep – My hourglass emptied out
Vain agony bed – Noises plague my head
This mind is a requiem

The window to my soul is in the eyes shut
My shadow a mere souvenir of a dead past
I'm tired of being awake
Seconds, minutes, hours, days and nights
Drugs put me to rest!
For too long my existence turned off the lights

What if all of this is not real?
What if I never existed?

Sleep – Sandman take my soul
Sleep – Come and switch it all off
Hurt and haunted – The ticking never ends
This life is a requiem

Dies Irae – All hours wound, the last kills
Demon voices – All hours hurt, the last heals
Dies Irae – All hours wound, the last kills
Demon voices – All hours hurt, the last heals

What if all of this is not real?
What if it's just a dream? Just a bad dream?
What if this wasn't meant to be?
What if I never existed?

Sleep – Sandman take my soul
Sleep – Come and switch it all off
Hurt and haunted – The ticking never ends
This life is a requiem

Sleep – Sandman take my soul
Sleep – My hourglass emptied out
Vain agony bed – Noises plague my head
This mind is a requiem

This mind is a requiem
Darkness unfair – I'd be better off dead
This life is a requiem
