I lie awake again no sleep tonight,
I find no peace in the quiet absence of the light
A million thoughts floatin' through my head
A million seconds has passed me by in my bed
One two three now it's four in the morning
as the emptiness swallows me on more time
I grow a little older with every second that passes
I die a little every time I close my eyes
No sanctuary in my dreams, no quiet place to hide,
every night I swear it's the same
And I don't know where I'll be tonight
but I know sleep will come if I walk all night
It's been a thousand hours maybe even more
since I fell victim to all the thoughts I tried to ignore
Nameless faces and sounds, voices screamin' in pain,
huddled shadows And sirens voices calling my name.
Well I can't sleep but I'm not Awake
to this hazy dim version of reality.
Hypnotized by everything I can't control
Desensitized by everything that controls me
Well I can't sleep so it's here in the dark
I'll make my peace with all that I've learned
Sanity's just another dream away
maybe with time it'll be alright
Every night I swear it's the same,
I walk all night and never ever get anywhere
It's taken all my strength, it's taken all the life
that used to flow deep inside of me
All my dreams are filled with no peace
All of my days are filled with no rest
Maybe with time it'll be alright
