Here, where clouds paint the sky A canvas of pitch black darkness All voices silenced, except those in my head No nightmare can compete This sick melody, my lullaby The last thing that I need A sickening melody of insanity Here, where night is all and everything And sleep is so much desired, so much To shut down the voices in my head Hear, the voices arrived again A panorama of ghosts and ghouls On an ailing parade in my head Hear their cries, calling my name again Tragic echoes of my dire past When silence is all I need in my head Shut down! End this masquerade of pain Shut down! This call to the insane Shut down! I plead, I beg, I crawl, I crave Shut down! End this lullaby of insanity To sleep is to live We need it like air To live is to die First rule of life And I, I die to sleep Every night again Yet these haunted moments When we sail away When we empty our head These dreadful moments Take my breath away And panic rules When the hour is nigh As for me To go to sleep is to die End this masquerade of pain This call to the insane I plead, I beg, I crawl, I crave End this lullaby of insanity And sink into oblivion
