Afraid of sleep for fear of what waits on the other side   denial - betrayal, things i cannot touch or understand   walk the line of sanity, i can feel the pull   i can't let it happen since i do not know   a body lays upon this funeral pyre   as my soul ascends i peel back the skin   back on those who feign to mourn   i pray with my dying breath that this is the end     i need an angel to save me if i sleep   someone to stop the nails being driven into my heart     try to ignore the pain they have endured   and they pretend to go on living   this wave crushes every ounce of inspiration   and drives me to my knees     i need an angel to save me if i sleep   someone to stop the nails being driven into my heart   i need an angel
