Mr. Sandman (Insomnia Pt.2)
Why do you taunt me soMy eyes are heavy but refuse to close
Let me rest in peace
Consumption of this liquid keeps me wide awake
Set me free of this eerie trance
The sand you provide does not burn my eyes
You only appear to be good
Keeping my salvation just out of reach
I feel drained of all energy
Please let me sleep
These late nights claim their toll
The price I pay increases daily
Mr. Sandman please let me sleep
Even if I am cursed to an eternal slumber
Sand never looked so tasty
You refuse to accept my bribes
Plies of green stand at your feet
Don't laugh at me
Desperate i may be
I only wish to feel relieved of this agony
Tick..Tock..Tick..Tock
Time passes by slower still
Still no sign of giving in
Too weak to use force
Feeling tired but wide awake
Slaughter the obnoxious sheep
They provide no comfort
Mr. Sandman, please lend me your dirty hands
Become the key to the gates
I want to enter Dreamland
