It's time I get some rest
Wake up a thousand years later...
Sometimes I want to lock myself away in my tomb
Sometimes I wish I had never left my mother's womb
I go to sleep and hope all problems pass me over
I grasp my pillow in my arms wishing it was her
Was her
I want to sleep sleep sleep all the days away
Sleep sleep sleep and just fade away
Sleep sleep sleep to just hide away
Will you sleep by my side this day
I Thought all my troubles hit me too hard and too soon
I Thought it'd be best to put up my blanket cocoon
As I lock myself away in my dreams of cover
I dream of the day I was finally together
With her
I want to sleep sleep sleep all the days away
Sleep sleep sleep and just fade away
Sleep sleep sleep to just hide away
Will you sleep by my side this day
I wrap myself up in my cold blankets of cover
As I'm holding my soft pillow while I think of her
I huddle in pitch darkness hoping to discover
The key to her heart as I'm dreaming that I hover
With her
I want to sleep sleep sleep all the days away
Sleep sleep sleep and just fade away
Sleep sleep sleep to just hide away
Will you sleep by my side this day
I want to sleep
And I want to dream
I want to sleep
And I want to dream
Of her
I want to sleep sleep sleep all the days away
Sleep sleep sleep and just fade away
Sleep sleep sleep to just hide away
Will you sleep by my side this day
Sleep by my side this day
Sleep by my side this day...
Wake up in the new millennium

I was gonna name this "Downward Spiral," but I found out that's a song/album by Nine Inch Nails.
