i'm tired of the terror
midnight wreaks

sheets can stay on the carpet
stickers can outlive me
on the ceiling
and the clock can tick and chime and
i will watch it crawl
once again
when i'm done
clamping my eyes shut

'cause something's wrong when
cause of death reads:
"ran out of breath
chasing her dreams"

so wake me up
don't wait for
dawn to break us
take me out of
this bedroom
it's a tomb, it's a tomb
and i can't breathe

sheets can stay in the ground
stars can outlive me
on the fan blades
and the clock can tick and chime and
wind me up and
wring me out to die
but not this time

'cause i'm not done
clawing my eyes out

so wake me up
