The Final Sleep
Keep callin' my name, I hang my head
Now I am ashamed I'm blessed
Dreams fall by the wayside, I made my
Bed. Now I gotta take my rest
With the Lord as my witness
I made my bed, now I lie in it
Sometimes I wish I would die in it
Nights like this, I wanna fly, listen
Before I lay me down to sleep
I pray the Lord my crown to keep
I'm not really one for countin' sheep
I pray the Lord allows me peace
And if I shall die before I wake
I pray the Lord my sword to take
Before I make some more mistakes
I pray I can ignore this fate
I don't have time to breathe
You don't have to be alive to teach
I hope I die inside my dreams
I hope this is the final sleep
I don't have time to breathe
You don't have to be alive to teach
I hope I die inside my dreams
I hope this is the final sleep
Keep a Glock on the waistline in case I'm shot
Now I gotta FaceTime with God
Beat the odds when the stakes' high, betray my
Thoughts. Now I gotta make time to watch
With this sword that I'm given
Slice my wrist every five minutes
Some kind of gift that I'm quite timid
Nights like this, I wanna fly, listen
Before I lay me down to rest
I pray I get my pound of flesh
I'm not one to count the steps
I pray the Lord allows me breath
And if shall die before I wake
I pray the Lord my soul to take
Before I find a hole to lay
I pray I can know the way
I don't have time to breathe
You don't have to be alive to teach
I hope I die inside my dreams
I hope this is the final sleep
I don't have time to breathe
You don't have to be alive to teach
I hope I die inside my dreams
I hope this is the final sleep
Try to keep me awake, I'll take my time
Now I'm in a place I designed
Keep time with the bassline, arrange my
Lies. Now don't try to change my mind
Start a war in my image
Fill a pool with tears and dive in it
I tried to swim, but my mind didn't
Nights like this, I wanna fly, listen
Before I take my final sleep
I pray I can find some peace
I'm not one for the hide and seek
I pray that I'm finally free
And if I should die before it's time
I pray that you're more divine
Before you try to force a tie
Just remember that we're born to die, and I...
I don't have time to breathe
You don't have to be alive to teach
I hope I die inside my dreams
I hope this is the final sleep
I don't have time to breathe
You don't have to be alive to teach
I hope I die inside my dreams
I hope this is the final sleep
Now I am ashamed I'm blessed
Dreams fall by the wayside, I made my
Bed. Now I gotta take my rest
With the Lord as my witness
I made my bed, now I lie in it
Sometimes I wish I would die in it
Nights like this, I wanna fly, listen
Before I lay me down to sleep
I pray the Lord my crown to keep
I'm not really one for countin' sheep
I pray the Lord allows me peace
And if I shall die before I wake
I pray the Lord my sword to take
Before I make some more mistakes
I pray I can ignore this fate
I don't have time to breathe
You don't have to be alive to teach
I hope I die inside my dreams
I hope this is the final sleep
I don't have time to breathe
You don't have to be alive to teach
I hope I die inside my dreams
I hope this is the final sleep
Keep a Glock on the waistline in case I'm shot
Now I gotta FaceTime with God
Beat the odds when the stakes' high, betray my

I hope this is the final sleep
I don't have time to breathe
You don't have to be alive to teach
I hope I die inside my dreams
I hope this is the final sleep
