The Sleeping Sickness Lyrics
And I awoke
Only to find my arms were empty
Through this night it seems that you were with me
And now my dreams are not what they're meant to be
And I'm alone, alone
And I am alone, alone
And I am alone, alone
And I am alone, alone
I'm afraid of sleeping 'cause of the way you haunt me
And I know you can make me fall apart so softly
And now you turn away so easily
And leave me all alone
And leave me all alone
And leave me all alone
Only to find my arms were empty
Through this night it seems that you were with me
And now my dreams are not what they're meant to be
And I'm alone, alone
And I am alone, alone
And I am alone, alone
And I am alone, alone
And I know you can make me fall apart so softly
And now you turn away so easily
And leave me all alone
And leave me all alone
And leave me all alone

LIKE THIS:
And I awoke Only to find THAT my arms were empty Through this night it seems that you were with me And now my dreams are not what they're meant to be AND I AWOKE ALONE AND I AWOKE ALONE AND I AWOKE ALONE AND I AWOKE ALONE
I'm afraid of sleeping 'cause of the way you haunt me I know you can make me fall apart so softly And now you turn away so easily And leave me all alone And leave me all alone And leave me all alone
Actually. I believe it's "And I am all alone." instead of "And I awoke alone." It seems like it would fit in more with the last three lines.
Right, i think that song is about Dallas missing a loved one such as a girlfriend. He dreams about her at night and it seems real but when he awkwakens she's not there and he feels as though his dreams are being taken over by his lover maybe? He's afraid of sleeping because he'll see her there, then wake up and be alone again. does this make sense? :S
these lyrics are like way wrong. its actually:
I awoke, only to find my lungs empty Through the night, so it seems I'm not breathing And now my dreams are nothing like they were meant to be And I'm Breaking Down I think I'm breaking down
And I'm afraid to sleep because of what haunts me Such as living with the uncertainties They'll never find the words to say Which would completely explain Just how I'm breaking down
Someone come, Someone come and save my life Maybe I'll sleep when I am dead But now its like the night is taking up sides With all the worries that occupy the back of my mind Could it be? This misery will suffice
I've become, the simple souvenir of someone's guilt Like the sea, I'm constantly changing from calm to ill Madness fills my heart and soul As if the great divide could swallow me whole Oh, how I'm breaking down
Someone come, Someone come and save my life Maybe I'll sleep when I am dead But now its like the night is taking up sides With all the worries that occupy the back of my mind Could it be? This misery will suffice
Someone come, Someone come and save my life
Someone come, Someone come and save my life
Someone come, Someone come and save my life Could it be? This misery will suffice
