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
