Sleep Therapy Lyrics

Sleep won’t work no more.

Whisper in my ear sweet princess, make me fall asleep.
The sound of your heartbeat alone could make the devil weep.
Be still, my body, while dreams assure me I’m not alone.
How can I be sure I’m not dead? Doomed to forever roam this nightmare.

I don’t ever want to sleep again.
Burn my eyes and ears to clear the water of the dead.

Where have I fallen this time? Abandoned, with past down under.
Swarms of flies eat my eyes, my brain the next course.
Where’d this dream go wrong? Why would you leave my side?
Sweet princess, I know your scent, I’ll get you back here some time.

I don’t ever want to sleep again.
Burn my eyes and ears to clear the water of the dead.

It’s so frustrating… Being alive, unawakened.
Waiting for the worms to come and tear me limb from limb.
Drifting away from reality. What a heart-wrenching feeling.
I lie here naked, exposed, yet still I choose to doze.

You will never sleep again.

I don’t ever want to sleep again.
Burn my eyes and ears to clear the water of the dead.
