Memphis May Fire - Sleepless Nights lyrics

rate me

I stare deep down into the eyes of my nightmares

As they come to life

I feel my heart beat right out of my chest

And I think I might be losing the fight

I might be losing it

I live inside my poisoned mind

It leaves me paralyzed

My visions blurred

My words are slurred

I think I might, might die tonight

This shadow follows me

It always keeps me on the edge

I know that I would never jump

So why can’t I step back from the ledge?

Am I losing control?

You take me to the darkest places I have ever been

I think I feel it coming back again

Why am I terrified of everything I used to love?

Save me from myself, I don't want to hate who I've become

Inhale, exhale

Why is it so hard to breathe?

Inhale exhale

Why isn't this working?

If I live to see the other side of this

I swear I'll never take for granted any happiness

I never knew what I had until it was gone

How long will this go on?

Why am I terrified of everything I used to love?

Save me from myself, I don't want to hate who I've become

Tell me that tomorrow when I wake up I'll be fine

I just want to be myself again

I want to know that I'm alive

Tell me, is there something that I'm learning from this?

I try my best to make the most of it

Maybe I just need to see the bigger picture

Show me how it ends

If I have to feel this forever

I'd rather feel nothing at all

Bring me back to life

I just can't take another sleepless night

Bring me back to life

Give me the clarity to see the light

I know that you can take this away

So I'm praying that today is the day

Oh, I pray that today is the day

Bring me back to life

Why am I terrified of everything I used to love?

Save me from myself, I don't want to hate who I've become

Tell me that tomorrow when I wake up I'll be fine

I just want to be myself again

I want to know that I'm alive

Please give me peace

Give me joy

Give me sanity

Give me hope

Give me love

Give me truth
