Sleep Evil Sleep

Catch me, I'm falling

Down the rabbit hole

Things get quite mad

When you've got no soul

Help me, I'm spinning

I'm out of control

Wish I could find something

To make me whole

I can see the metal strike the pedal sends me firing away (ah-ooh, ooh, ooh)

I can see the guards with their pitchforks and torches lit from my gold flame (ah, ah, ah, ah)

But as far as I run and as hard as I try, I can never seem to make it out (ahh-ahh)

I'm flying off the edge of a cliff into hurricane

Save me, love, keep your vow

Put a heart in this tin girl now

Sleep evil sleep, it's the truth that I dread

Tomorrow we'll be back to tearing wires from our head

There is no one left to blame, just the things I have said

So, sleep evil sleep, tonight you are dead

Always such a marvellous thing to beat the sirens to the scene (ah-ooh, ooh, ooh)

I confess, it was me, I thought it was the end of days (ah, ah, ah, ah)

Oh, you never know where I'm gonna go

Any moment now, I'll become an explosive tidal wave

Save me, love, though I don't know how

Fix a brain on this straw girl now

Sleep evil sleep, you've torn me to shreds

I've spent the entire day putting out fires in my head

I squeeze myself real tight as my mind hangs by a thread

Please sleep evil sleep, tonight you are dead

Oh-oh, oh, oh

Oh, oh, oh

Oh

Never living

Never ageing

Never growing

Never dying

Never learning

It's concerning

Disconcerting

I will never be free

I want the world to know

That I am in control

As they look upon my broken soul

They'll say "She was her own worst foe"

Save me love, keep your vow

Find some nerve for this coward now

Sleep evil sleep, it's all just in my head

Come the morning sun, I'll fight the same demons yet again

You can weld me to my knees, but I won't pray for mercy now

Sleep evil sleep, tonight you are dead
