lyrics

Tonight before I sleep
Motivation will leave me
Through my plain white ceiling
Drift into nothing
I close my eyes
Hoping it's forever.

Keep me away from dawn
Please keep me here
Yet time seems to shake me
From dreams into nightmares
I'll open my eyes
Hoping it's all over

When daylight breaks
I'll to take a minute before I wake
To contemplate if today was worth the wait

I'm constantly
Watching me
Going through
The motions of insanity

With eyes sewn shut
And ears that bleed
My shattered teeth won't let me speak
With eyes sewn shut
I can finally see

Tonight before I sleep
Motivation will leave me
Through my plain white ceiling
Drift into nothing
I close my eyes
Hoping it's forever.

Keep me away from dawn
Please keep me here
Yet time seems to shake me
From dreams into nightmares
I'll open my eyes
Hoping it's all over

False promises will bring you home

And false promises of leaving home

False promises of leaving home
Will lead me on to to keep sharpening those knives
I'll hold my head low and see
This shade of red never looked so good on me

Tonight before I sleep
Motivation will leave me
Through my plain white ceiling
Drift into nothing
I close my eyes
Hoping it's forever.

Keep me away from dawn
Please keep me here
Yet time seems to shake me
From dreams into nightmares
I'll open my eyes
Hoping it's all over
