Can't Sleep

[Verse 1]
It's nighttime again and so I get out of bed
I'm so dang tired that I might as well be dead
I haven't slept for a week, and believe me, I've tried
Depressed, paranoid, considering suicide

I wander through the halls of this empty old place
In total dark, until morning, I just keep my set pace
Through every room and every closet, the attic and basement
A bad memory inside my head, I can't erase it

All I'm left with is broken thoughts and nightmares
And if I go to sleep I know I'll only end up back right there
Not that I can, and I've tried so dang hard
But my emotions are dead, and my heart is scarred

I go back to bed, listen to music instead
But the sounds just get the demons in my head
Going crazy, and laughing, getting wild, so then
I get up once more, to pace the hallways again

[Chorus]
I can't sleep (demons in my head)
I can't sleep (I just wish I was dead)
I can't sleep (world of dark and death)
I can't sleep (when will I take my last breath)

I can't sleep (demons in my head)
I can't sleep (I just wish I was dead)
I can't sleep (Inside Satan's lair)
I can't sleep (stuck in this eternal nightmare)

[Verse 2]
Wallpaper on the wall looks pretty appealing
So I grab it, and start to rip it without feeling
But soon I get bored, I get another headache
But I can't go to sleep, not even for my own sake

I look at the clock, it's only 1 a.m
Just a few more hours before its day out again
The minutes turn to hours, and the hours to days
I try to focus on sleeping but my head's too dazed

Instead my mind turns to the bad memories
To the shit that I did, and the girl who haunts me
I hate myself for the chances I didn't take
For the king of messing up, I think I'd take the cake

I look on the bed, and I see her laying there
Pretty face and blue eyes, and long brunette hair
But then the vision fades, and I'm sad once again
So I begin once more to pace the hallways again

[Chorus]
I can't sleep (demons in my head)
I can't sleep (I just wish I was dead)
I can't sleep (world of dark and death)
I can't sleep (when will I take my last breath)

I can't sleep (demons in my head)
I can't sleep (I just wish I was dead)
I can't sleep (Inside Satan's lair)
I can't sleep (stuck in this eternal nightmare)

[Verse 3]
I go downstairs and go right to the closet
Hearing dripping inside, like the water from a faucet
I open the door, not surprised to see
The new body inside that's waiting for me

A blade to a vein cut his life short quick
Two liters of blood turned the closet floor slick
A hacksaw to the neck, gotta cut that loose end
Put his decapitated head next to that of his friend

Then I close the closet door and forget what I saw
Head over to a table and I start to draw
But the crayon is a razor and the paper's my wrist
Line after line and more like a shopping list

Blood runs down my arm so I lick it clean
I feel the sting, but it's dark, the cuts can't be seen
Just a normal night for me, sleep's nowhere in sight
So I get up once more to pace the hallways all night

[Chorus]
I can't sleep (demons in my head)
I can't sleep (I just wish I was dead)
I can't sleep (world of dark and death)
I can't sleep (when will I take my last breath)

I can't sleep (demons in my head)
I can't sleep (I just wish I was dead)
I can't sleep (Inside Satan's lair)
I can't sleep (stuck in this eternal nightmare)
