Are You Sleeping?

(album: The Vault - 2019)

(Are you sleeping? Are you sleeping?
Brother John, brother John
Morning bells are ringing, morning bells are ringing
Ding dong ding, ding dong ding)

For so long I tried to find a cure
To the life I'm living
Was all wrong and I had to know for sure
But my head was spinning

I thought that they made me invincible
My heart used to pound, it was not enough to
Alter the shape of my sanity
I need you to save me

I can't wake up
Can anybody hear me screaming?
And I've had enough
Someone tell me that I'm dreaming

(Are you sleeping?
Brother John?)

For too long I let the poison flow
Every ounce was given
I hid every second of the day
In my private prison

I thought that they made me invincible
My heart used to pound, it was not enough to
Alter the shape of my sanity
I need you to save me

I can't wake up
Can anybody hear me screaming?
And I've had enough
Someone tell me that I'm dreaming
So don't close my eyes, don't let me go
Everything, everything's gone that I know
I can't wake up
Someone tell me, am I sleeping?

With my last breath, I say to you
(There will be better days, there will be better days)
Through my death, I hope you find the truth
(There will be better ways, there will be better ways)

I thought that they made me invincible
My heart used to pound, it was not enough to
Alter the shape of my sanity
I need you to save me

I can't wake up
Can anybody hear me screaming?
And I've had enough
Someone tell me that I'm dreaming
So don't close my eyes, don't let me go
Everything, everything's gone that I know
I can't wake up
Someone tell me, am I sleeping?

(Are you sleeping? Are you sleeping?
Brother John, brother John
Morning bells are ringing, morning bells are ringing
Ding dong ding, ding dong ding)
