Sleep

(album: The Black Parade - 2006)

"They're, they're these terrors, and it's like, it feels like as if somebody was gripping my
-They're these terrors, and it's like, it feels like as if somebody was gripping my throat
-Night, uh, they're not like tremors, they're worse than tremors, they're, they're these terrors
-Like last night, uh, they're not like tremors, they're worse than tremors, they're, they're these terrors
-And it's like, it feels like as if somebody was gripping my throat and squeezing and
-It's like, as if like somebody was gripping my throat and squeezing, and I feel like I'm being choked, and I can't breathe, and I shake, and I convulse, and sometimes when I'm trying to sleep, and I have these, these waking, uh, dreams..."

Some say now suffer all the children and walk away a savior
Or a madman and polluted from gutter institutions
Don't you breathe for me, undeserving of your sympathy
'Cause there ain't no way that I'm sorry for what I did

And through it all, how could you cry for me? 'Cause I don't feel
Bad about it, so shut your eyes, kiss me goodbye

And sleep, just sleep
The hardest part is letting go of your dreams

A drink for the horror that I'm in, for the good guys
And the bad guys, for the monsters that I've been
Three cheers for tyranny, unapologetic apathy
Cause there ain't no way that I'm coming back again

And through it all, how could you cry for me? 'Cause I don't feel
Bad about it, so shut your eyes, kiss me goodbye

And sleep, just sleep
The hardest part's the awful things that I've seen

"Sometimes I see flames, and sometimes
I see people that I love dying and it's always
-I see flames, and sometimes
I see people that I love dying and it's always-"
Just sleep
"-Flames, and sometimes
I see people that I love dying and it's always-"
Just sleep
"-Flames, and sometimes
I see people that I love dying and it's always-"

Just sleep! Just sleep! Just sleep! Just sleep!
Wake up! Wake up! Wake up! Wake up!
Wake up! Wake up! Wake up! Wake up!
Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah

"Falling and sometimes when I sleep and I can't
I can't ever wake up
-Falling and sometimes when I sleep and I can't
I can't ever wake up..."
