Don’t let me sleep
It’s all I pray of you
Don’t let the monsters
Come back to scream and weep
In my ear
Just please don’t let me sleep
If you do, it all comes back
The screaming, the pleading
My hell, everything’s going black
All in my web of insomnia
Of my insanity
My sanity or lack thereof
Was a short trip to lose?
It only could have been
A simple year or two
That’s my insomnia of insanity
Tricked by the light
Let loose in the night
I have to shay away from
All that is and will be bright
Calling me yours
Was your last mistake
And now look at me
I’m a wreck
I’m about to break
I could say it was all you
But that would not be fair
No, all of you are to blame
And I will pass my judgment
On all of you
Killing me softly
Killing me you’ll see
Is what has brought
On my insomnia
Of insanity
And now you lay me
Down to sleep
That little white pill
Taking effect
Chained to a bed
Shrouded in white
For this, no,
This time I might not wake up

My hell, everything’s going black
All in my web of insomnia
