Lyrics

Don’t let me sleep tonight
I need to stay awake
Don’t let me sleep tonight
I won’t go back to bed

What did I say to you?
These pills have caused a haze
Swallow the medication
Sleep the night away

Pills, booze, and sorrowed dreams
Are cognitive, my bliss
Don’t let me wake tomorrow
Grant me one last wish

Hollow and empty body
No blood left to drain
Don’t let me sleep tonight
I need to stay awake!

Well if you wanted honesty
You threw that all away
And replaced it with those drugs you took
Just leave my house today
Daddy, mommy’s got a gun
And cupid’s got another one
I cannot breathe I cannot see
I need something to make it through
I cannot breathe, I need to see
What is beneath my skin

Mommy and Daddy, you won’t understand!
I can’t take the abuse, so let me out of this land!
Keep me awake or I’ll slip into hell
I can’t take the abuse, so I just take one more pill!
(I just take one more pill!)

Take my hand, I need you!
We’ll drown sorrows in darkness, safe from them
Slip away, as I sleepwalk back into hell!
Wake up every morning still dreaming
Nightmares crawl into daylight
Not fully there just yet
But still lucid enough to remember

Wake up, wake up
Wake up, wake up
Wake up, wake up
Wake up, wake up
Wake up, wake up!
As the days drag on there’s a bullet in daddy’s head
The screaming pain of death rings louder in my bed
Then mommy cries out “Put your sister to sleep!”
As I fall awake and die on this floor

In the darkness in my dreams, and the spaces in between
Yes I’m gonna kill the queen, and she’ll hear me f**king scream
“Drown it with the pills, the medication hums a tune
Piercing through your heart, may my life end soon”

Save us! Save us! From destruction!
(Make me die!)

Don’t let me sleep tonight
I need to stay awake
Don't let me sleep tonight
My sister’s life’s at stake
Take my hand, I need you!
We’ll drown sorrows in darkness, safe from them
Slip away, as I sleepwalk back into hell!
Wake up every morning still dreaming
Nightmares crawl into daylight
Not fully there just yet
But still lucid enough to remember

(Sister, take my hand!)
Take my hand, I need you!
(I need you!)
We’ll drown sorrows in darkness, safe from them
(Help!)
Slip away, as I sleepwalk back into hell!
Wake up every morning still dreaming
Nightmares crawl into daylight
Not fully there just yet
But still lucid enough to remember

Wake up, wake up
Wake up, wake up
Wake up, wake up
Wake up, wake up
Wake up, wake up!
Now!
