lullaby

I miss sleep

i eat junk food when I head to bed
keeps my mind mixed up and out of it
I dream things i don't understand
and wake up cold with sweaty hands

the faucet fills my feet
with it's pitter patter beat
and the skeletons and demons waltz that I
keep in my closet

i scare myself
i scare myself to sleep
it's the only thing that keeps
me rested for weeks

i scare myself
from time and time again
i scare myself
when sleep won't give in

i'm not sure what's real anymore
three days awake spent on the floor
i don't wanna spend another night
saying over and over I'm alright

and that pitter patter beat
makes me anxious in my seat
so i sleep walk to the closet where i ask
if i can join them

i scare myself
i scare myself to sleep
it's the only thing that keeps
me rested for weeks

i scare myself
from time and time again
i scare myself
when sleep won't give in

i roll around and think
with that pitter patter sink
and by the time I'm done
i scare myself just cause it's fun

I get no peace from lullabies
unless they're yelled like battle cries
I get no peace from lullabies
unless they're yelled like battle cries
I get no peace from lullabies
unless they're yelled like battle cries
I get no peace from lullabies
unless they're yelled like battle cries

a mirco nap or two
just to get me threw
a comas getting closer
a comas getting closer
and i'm so sure what to do

so i scare myself
i scare myself to sleep
it's the only thing that keeps
me rested well for weeks

i scare myself
from time and time again
i scare myself
when sleep won't give in

i scare myself
i scare myself
when sleep won't give in
