A momentary taste of silence A fleeting sense of peace Before I realized that my eyelids have been Begging me for weeks that I could use the sleep But that cave is not as deep as I once thought There's times when I would sleep Resting my eyes if I was caught And now a nightmare would be desired If it meant just a sliver of rest Now the voice in my head is agitated So drift away, it says Please wake up, sleep is irrelevant When you keep me all caged up Haven't slept more than a wink In what has to be weeks It's just cause to be afraid A fear that would make one think I'll drive myself right to an early grave Then I'd sleep for years (Sleep for years) Years upon years Only to never wake (Only to never wake) A world without knowledge I was here Without knowledge of my name If I keep this up, and my body starts to fail I only hope that someone I love isn't forced to find my shell I can hear what they say Please wake up, you have so much left to give The ones who care, for them you're air They need for you to live So please wake up Don't leave us here like this I beg of you, the thread is loose There is no need to cut Don't give up Please wake up Please wake up Don't give up I beg of you, the thread is loose There is no need to cut Sleepless nights that lead to endless vices A mixture that could leave a body lifeless Wake up I need to see the light Or else it's a momentary silence Just a fleeting sense of peace Wake up I'm awake I'm awake A momentary silence A fleeting sense of peace I feel like both my eyelids are begging me to breathe I'm awake Haven't slept more than a wink in what has to be weeks It's just cause to be afraid Haven't slept more than a wink in what has to be weeks It's just cause to be afraid (I'm afraid) Haven't slept more than a wink in what has to be weeks It's just cause to be afraid Haven't slept more than a wink in what has to be weeks It's just cause to be afraid
