Let Me Sleep

Do I fear these nights alone?

You don't know what I face on my own

The dark stretches on and I can't hide

When I can't close my eyes when I'm trapped inside

They creep in close they whisper lies

They watch and wait behind my eyes

Can't let go can't slip away

The demons know I'm here to stay

Let me sleep I can't sleep

Their voices dig in way too deep

I feel them crawl beneath my skin

Waiting for the night to pull me in

Let me sleep

Let me sleep (Let me sleep)

Every second drags me down

I hear them move they're all around

Eyes shut tight but it's no use

They're always there when the lights reduce

They laugh and call they scratch and claw

I see their shapes in the shadows I draw

I can't breathe I can't feel safe

I'm trapped here wide awake

Let me sleep I can't sleep

The silence breaks and shadows creep

Do I fear these nights alone?

You don't know how dark it gets inside

Faces flicker in the empty air

Their eyes their teeth they're always there

They're waiting for me wide awake

Feeding off each fear I make

They whisper "Close your eyes come down

Let go fall through and we'll be found"

I can't escape the night won't break

Demons hold me I didn't make

Let me sleep I can't sleep

The silence breaks and shadows creep

Eyes wide open till morning's here

But even then they're always near
