Let Me Sleep Lyrics

Let me sleep
I'm wide awake

Please let me sleep 'cause I can't take anymore nights
With this voice telling me that I die, die

I'm wide awake
Please let me sleep
I'm wide awake
Please let me sleep

I'm afraid to close my eyes
I don't wanna close them
I can still see it
'Cause it's talking to me at night

I don't think that I can take this any longer
Without shutting out the voices
It mutilates me

I'm wide awake

Please let me sleep 'cause I can't take anymore nights
With this voice telling me that I die, die

I will die

I'm wide awake

Please let me sleep 'cause I can't take anymore nights
With this voice telling me that I die, die

I'm wide awake
Please let me sleep
I'm wide awake
Please let me sleep

I can't take this no more

I cannot take this
Please let me fall asleep

I'm wide awake
Please let me sleep
Fuck

Let me sleep
Please let me sleep
Please let me sleep
Please let me sleep
Please let me sleep

Bring this shit back you fuck

I'm wide awake
Please let me sleep
I'm wide awake
Please let me sleep

Take this fucking knife now
Cut it out
