Sandman blow a little sand in my eye
Knock me out twice, make me wise
I have never slept a day in my life
I could not cry myself to sleep
Spending the day getting ready to go out wondering which mask to wear
Twisting the crank in the oxygen tank whisper a prayer in the air
Please teach me to breathe
Remind me how I can't remember
Please read me the theme
You've lost the plot the story's dismembered
I miss my mom. She misses me
I could never let her know that I am here
A sweetheart like me in a dump like this
Milkman give a little sweet stuff to me
Know I'd kinda like to go for a walk
Talk with myself and work it out
If I only just remembered to breathe I'd understand what you see
