The ceiling's so appealing
On this winter night
I'm too scared to dream
The creaks in the house
Are a nightmare's song
Dear demons,
Please let me sleep tonight

This room seeps my doom
As the night wears on
I am in so deep
If I wake I'll apologize
But if while I sleep I die

Then I'll be free tonight

Dear demons,
Please let me sleep tonight

Well then...

I should be falling asleep
I shouldn't dwell on what tomorrow brings
Too tired to fall asleep
Too awake to think
Yet I should be falling asleep
A dream is a dream no matter what it seems
I should be falling asleep
But I'm too afraid to sleep
As I drift into the deep
Oh no
I'm asleep
Caught in another dream...
Dear Demons, let me sleep tonight
