Graveyard Shift

I cut out her tongue when she said my name

My eyes are open but I am not awake

They found the knife buried deep inside her

The sky seems higher

The sun seems brighter

Black and blue broken bloodied and bruised

Black and blue broken bloodied and bruised

Just like a dream from which you never wake up

Just like a dream from which you never wake up

I am in hell

Trapped inside myself

Ignorance is bliss

And there is freedom in carelessness

I sleep

But I refuse so dream

Don't you ever pray for me

Coming apart at the seams

There is no good inside of me

One day a storm will come and wash away the weak

Someday death will come and wake me from this sleep

We are defined by the burdens we keep

The burden I see is the burden of sleep

I am still in hell

Trapped inside myself

Regret unconsciousness as we spiral into the abyss

I sleep

But I refuse so dream

Don't you ever pray for me

Coming apart at the seams

There is no good inside of me

She told me she wanted to meet the reaper

I had only done her a favor

She didn't deserve to die

Deserve to die

But I deserved to kill her

Grinding my teeth to dust

Prison bars have begun to rust

On the line between living and dead

As your eyes roll back into your head

This fog will never lift

Wide awake in nothingness

A mountain of torture a waits

I'll see you at the pearly gates

Ah ah ah
