The Slumber

[Verse 1] Alright, I'm stressed, this is my fate, life has decided With all of it, I should have the clarity of a diamond But I don't, looking back, there was no silver lining The stars were not aligning, and there I was, confining Myself to a life of hate, show me how to debate Our minds are full of promise but happiness will abate Tell me a better reason why you and I can relate If everyone disappeared, I promise that I'll be great I swear to you I can make up everything that I made up Breaking in to the break up, knowing how much it made us But, you fell for the touch, not the Beating that followed after And that heart grew cold, the silence after disaster Never give me a glance, never gave me a chance I would have given my all under the circumstance A night of pleasure brings many days of disdain But in my Slumber, I numb away all this pain And I sing... [Hook] This is my Slumber, I numb away all my pain and I sing This is my Slumber, I numb away all my pain and I sing This is my Slumber, I numb away all my pain and I sing [Verse 2] But I digress, I'm just a method actor to forget With a gashed arm longer than a list of my regrets Joyous moments spent, I've been here for hours trying to vent I don't need all the attention, I just need to comprehend Where the greatest thing lies, and if it can be found But around me, I notice that it never makes a sound (Don't stay, run, question, run.) Look into my eyes, is there taint in my life? Maybe I should find a new restraint for the night You never notice if you are a slave to a life Or if the tables turn, will you misbehave, am I right? Wrong, there's a path we are forced to take And giving up on myself, I wonder if I relate You can never understand the man that I became But in my slumber, I numb away all this pain And I sing... [Hook]
