In the Night

Sometimes in the night, I feel my heart is going to stop.
Sometimes at night I can see the ax about to drop.
Every time I close my eyes, just before I wake from dream.
I am one step closer to the edge when I stop breathing in my sleep.

Lying in bed, not feeling right
At first you're hot, and then you're cold.
I think you're turning white.

If I just turn to my side, maybe that will calm me down.
I feel I'm on the strangest trip, and I want to come back down.

Wake up cold and out of breath.
You're getting old, you're running with death.
The day's toll weighing on your heart.
And now you know that you're breaking apart.

Sometimes in the night, I feel my heart is going to stop.
Sometimes at night I can see the ax about to drop.
Every time I close my eyes, just before I wake from dream.
I am one step closer to the edge when I stop breathing in my sleep.

Head in pain, must be insane.
All thoughts of feeling safe going down the drain.

If I drift off to sleep, will I ever wake again?
The threat is very real, and I don't want to end up like my friend...

Heart is racing much too fast,
How much longer will this last?
Try to get the adrenaline down.
I don't want this thing to come back around.

Sometimes in the night, I feel my heart is going to stop.
Sometimes at night I can see the ax about to drop.
Every time I close my eyes, just before I wake from dream.
I am one step closer to the edge when I stop breathing in my sleep.
