Alone I sit, I wonder why   You dream of love and so do I   But in your sleep you cannot see   This pain which is always haunting me   What I need I'll never feel   This world is for me unreal   So I drink to darkness with a candle lit   And through the whole night alone I sit   The sleeping beauty   She stops the bleeding   She stops the bleeding in my soul   She is fresh air in this stinking world   The more I drink, the more I see   That suicide could be the key   To the place called paradise   Where pain not dwells, not hate nor lies   But if I look beyond all this   I reckon something I would surely miss   Because in my dreams I rule my life   And the sleeping beauty is my wife   The sleeping beauty   She stops the bleeding   She stops the bleeding in my dreams   She is fresh air in this stinking world
