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
