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
