I'm tired of you invading my sleep, perusing my sheets, directing my dreams It's the pain in my stomach I can't suppress, holy **** I'm depressed Honestly it wouldn't be so bad if it weren't for the voices, the pins and the needles The diversions in my speeches just to make me seem okay The silly face I put on to play pretend, to stay sane If only I could make you feel the empty hole inside The one I feel every night every night every night But in this hole there are knives and spears poking At my veins but not splicing them just yet, oh no not yet It's torment and torture that's all in my head I can't stop thinking of the same things in dread No one loves me no one loves me no one cares Oh God, I'm so lonely It's manic I panic Oh God, I'm not sane But no one I've found ever feels the same Oh God, I want out of my body I want out of this dream It's so hazy and lucid but this is reality I want to go back to sleep Oh God, please let me sleep

If Only You Knew How I Need To Sleep
I'm tired of you invading my sleep, perusing my sheets, directing my dreams It's the pain in my stomach I can't suppress, holy **** I'm depressed Honestly it wouldn't be so bad if it weren't for the voices, the pins and the needles The diversions in my speeches just to make me seem okay The silly face I put on to play pretend, to stay sane If only I could make you feel the empty hole inside The one I feel every night every night every night But in this hole there are knives and spears poking At my veins but not splicing them just yet, oh no not yet It's torment and torture that's all in my head I can't stop thinking of the same things in dread No one loves me no one loves me no one cares Oh God, I'm so lonely It's manic I panic Oh God, I'm not sane But no one I've found ever feels the same Oh God, I want out of my body I want out of this dream It's so hazy and lucid but this is reality I want to go back to sleep Oh God, please let me sleep
