Before the dawn the Sandman will come with nightmares
I won't let him in
There's nothing in head
Empty walls, empty bed
I am just waiting
Restless beats of heart and breathing break the silence
I am still here
The absence of light
Narrows my eyesight
But still I see them
It's not angels that sing
And call me by my true name
They have forsaken me
Dead tired but aware
Sleep invites the demons, I am not prepared
I have to stay awake
There are monsters in my head
On my walls, under my bed
I am dying
I am jaded, I am numb, I am counting on the sun
Salvation to come
The absence of light
Narrows my eyesight
But still I see them
It's not angels that sing
And call me by my true name
Why have you forsaken me
Why have you forsaken me
4am I'm still awake Before the dawn the Sandman will come with nightmares I won't let him in There's nothing in head Empty walls, empty bed I am just waiting Restless beats of heart and breathing break the silence I am still here The absence of light Narrows my eyesight But still I see them It's not angels that sing And call me by my true name They have forsaken me Dead tired but aware Sleep invites the demons, I am not prepared I have to stay awake There are monsters in my head On my walls, under my bed I am dying I am jaded, I am numb, I am counting on the sun Salvation to come The absence of light Narrows my eyesight But still I see them It's not angels that sing And call me by my true name Why have you forsaken me Why have you forsaken me Explain Request ×
