Sleeping Sickness Lyrics

I awoke
Only to find my lungs empty
And through the night, so it seems I'm not breathing
And now my dreams are nothing like they were meant to be
And I'm breaking down
I think I'm breaking down

And I'm afraid
To sleep because of what haunts me
Such as living with the uncertainty
That I'll never find the words to say
Which would completely explain
Just how I'm breaking down

Someone come and
Someone come and save my life
Maybe I'll sleep when I am dead
But now it's like the night is taking sides
All the worries that occupy the back of my mind
Could it be? This misery will suffice

I've become
A simple souvenir of someone's kill
Like the sea, I'm constantly changing from calm to hell
Madness fills my heart and soul
As if the great divide could swallow me whole
Oh, how I'm breaking down

Someone come and
Someone come and save my life
Maybe I'll sleep when I am dead
But now it's like the night is taking sides
All the worries that occupy the back of my mind
Could it be? This misery will suffice

Someone come and
Someone come and save my life (save my life)
Someone come and
Someone come and save my life (save my life)
Someone come and
Someone come and save my life (save my life)
Could it be? This misery will suffice
