afraid to sleep

All these sleepless nights I fade away
6 or 7 hours it's my only escape
Don't think about it too much
You'll just wake up
In a cold sweat
When your eyes flood
Afraid to sleep
Afraid to drift off
Afraid to dream

So dark and so demented
Why am I in this place my mind invented
Afraid to close my eyes and step into that dimension tonight
So dark and so demented
Why am I in this place my mind invented
Afraid to close my eyes and step into that dimension tonight

Tossing and turning
For rest I am yearning
My world is, it's burning
My worlds overturning
Just waiting for the morning
My demons got the best of me
They treat me like I'm nobody
Been creating all these false enemies
Been searching for a remedy
Been searching for the master key
I just want to break free

Lay me down and let my close my eyes
Lay me down and sing a lullaby

Afraid to close my eyes
I just don't want to see what lurks inside my mind
Afraid to sleep
I'll pray my soul to keep
Inside of REM
Heart going 200 BPM
Nights turn into seconds
I feel oh so threatened
The moonlight begins to lessen
Went to bed about 11
Oh wow look it's 7
1 hour sleep I got I reckon
Dreaming of an Armageddon

Lay me down and let my close my eyes
Lay me down and sing a lullaby
If I die before the sun rise
I hope get I caught by god's eyes

So dark and so demented
Why am I in this place my mind invented
Afraid to close my eyes and step into that dimension tonight
So dark and so demented
Why am I in this place my mind invented
Afraid to close my eyes and step into that dimension tonight
