lyrics

Now I lay me down to sleep.
I pray that you won't forget of me.
If I should die before I wake,
I pray no one my soul to take.

I sink into the fallacies.
It's the only true reality.
Knock on my door, but no one's home.
The clocks are off. The phones are dead.
I've finally found Eternal Sleep.
Let me rest in my tragedy,
'cause all this chaos is baffling.
I'm so confused and no one knows.
I hoped for more, but I left with less -
so, I close my eyes and just hold my breath.

I'm tired. I'm tired.
Don't wake me when it's time.
And never whisper in my ear,
because I'm done with the lies. (x2)

brain dead. I wish to have my brain fed.
stare at baby-pictures with my face red. my exterior's stripped,
and can't be saved. The past was traded for this, and that's my day's end.
So lackadaisical. Pullin' daisies, but lack the happy-face I had...
so, how can I enjoy the act of play when...
it's all a play and my costume is ripped sadly faded?
Hurting everyone around me 'cause it's that contagious.
I'd apologize, but I can't contain it.
I'm back to hating. Back against a jagged pavement.
I cast away into a pond where fishes swim no more.
Take my air away. I'll take a jump and float with them for sure.
Dying young comes with such a disgustingly sick allure.
Spending all my funds on too much fun 'cause I did my chores.
Even though this shit was far beyond a hobby once.
Now, I just do it when I've got a hunch...

I'm tired. I'm tired.
Don't wake me when it's time.
And never whisper in my ear,
because I'm done with the lies. (x2)
