There's a black sky
Over my town
It's a long night
In a dark house
There's enough fight
For a showdown
There's a black hole
With no escape
There's a dark soul
As my inmate
Where does it go
Leaving no trace?
Watch it take me over
Let it suck me in
Watch it pull me closer
When does it begin?
Sleep
Why can't I just close my eyes and sleep?
Wrap your arms around me
As I dream
Dream
I just wanna close my eyes and
Sleep
I can't tell exactly what it means
Takes me from a whisper to a scream
Scream
Sleep
As the night falls
And the sun dies
There's a loud call
From the inside
But my mind's caught
And my tongue tied
As the night storms
And the cold rains
As the clouds form
In my cold brain
There is no warning
And no break
Watch it take me over
Let it suck me in
Watch it pull me closer
When does it begin?
Sleep
Why can't I just close my eyes and sleep?
Wrap your arms around me
As I dream
Dream
I just wanna close my eyes and
Sleep
I can't tell exactly what it means
Takes me from a whisper to a scream
Scream
Sleep
And the darkness tends to throw me
Off my game for just a moment
Easy come and easy go again

Takes me by surprise and shows me
All the ways it tries to know me
Cuts me off and here we go again
♪
Sleep
Why can't I just close my eyes and sleep?
Wrap your arms around me
As I dream
Dream
I just wanna close my eyes and
Sleep
I can't tell exactly what it means
Takes me from a whisper to a scream
Scream
Sleep
