I've been where the river ran
I'm drownin' in a sunless sea
Sleep has helped me find my end
You promised me you'd set me free
Don't fall asleep to dream
A banshee's at my window pane
There's an angel at my feet
Don't fall asleep to dream
I'm awake now
(You can't touch me, I won't sleep no more)
Awake now
In the corner of my mind
Where he sits and waits for me
There's a wall of confusion building
And the sky begins to bleed on me
Don't fall asleep to dream
I'm looking for a way out now
Peace of mind is all I need
Don't fall asleep to dream
I'm awake now
(You can't touch me, I won't sleep no more)
Awake now
(You can't touch me, I won't sleep no more)
Awake now
(You can't touch me, I won't sleep no more)
Awake now
Awake now
Awake now
Awake now
Awake now
