I've drowned a thousand times
When that day plays inside my mind
Begging for redemption
Forgiveness from a ghost
When reality becomes nightmares
And nightmares become regime
No sleep. No sleep for this machine
A scream in the night
Praying for the light
When darkness is your only god
Salvation eludes me
But the memories they all seem
Like they happened yesterday
So I hope that in my last day
That the nightmare goes away
And I can walk in peace and see you in a dream
The crushing weight of blame
Is a stigma worn in shame
Looking at the faces
Loved ones see your ghost
When reality becomes nightmares
And nightmares become regime
No sleep. No sleep for this machine
Another scream in the night
Praying for the light
When darkness is your only god
Salvation eludes me
But the memories they all seem
Like they happened yesterday
So I hope that in my last day
That the nightmare goes away
And I can walk in peace and see you in a dream
