Don't Fall Asleep

My faults were always in the light as long as I lived in your shadow

Pushed out leaving all my hopes behind just for a glimpse of attention

But as I turned away and searched for something of my own

Suddenly you noticed me you never wanted this

So now I'm torn between the things I want and the life that never stood a chance


Your tasted they've never changed

I simply became the poison that you crave


It's in your veins creeping slowly to your heart

It's sinking in as your eyes are getting heavy

Don't fall asleep, don't fall asleep

Don't drift into this nightmare

Don't fall asleep, don't fall asleep

Or you will never see


The illusion you breathe to honestly think you could fly

You know wings are only as strong as the heart that beats with them

But you're already dead inside

It's a sad shame to see what you'll become

You'll be all alone


It's in your veins creeping slowly to your heart

It's sinking in as your eyes are getting heavy

Don't fall asleep, don't fall asleep

Don't drift into this nightmare

Don't fall asleep, don't fall asleep

Or you will never see


There's no truth in the way you look at me

Searching the surface for what you want to see

But you're mind is set you're blind as can be

You'll never know what lies beneath


You're tastes they've never changed

I simply became the poison that you crave

Can you feel this on your lips?

Desperate for another dose of danger

Close your eyes and let the feeling take over

As you're washed away by the fear

Acceptance is something that's hard to live by

When regret is only friend that you hold dear


It's in your veins creeping slowly to your heart

It's sinking in as your eyes are getting heavy

Don't fall asleep, don't fall asleep

Don't drift into this nightmare

Don't fall asleep, don't fall asleep

Or you will never see


There's no truth in the way you look at me

Searching the surface for what you want to see

But you're mind is set you're blind as can be

You'll never know what lies beneath
