Sleeping Sickness
I awokeOnly to find my lungs emptyAnd through the nightSo it seems I'm not breathingAnd now my dreams are nothing like they were meant to beAnd I'm breaking down, I think I'm breaking down
And I'm afraidTo sleep because of what haunts meSuch as living with the uncertaintyThat I'll never find the words to sayWhich would completely explainJust how I'm breaking down
[Chorus]Someone come and, someone come and save my lifeMaybe I'll sleep when I am deadBut now it's like the night is taking sidesWith all the worries that occupy the back of my mindCould it be this misery will suffice?
[Gordon Downie]I've becomeA simple souvenir of someone's killAnd like the seaI'm constantly changing from calm to illMadness fills my heart and soul as if the great divide could swallow me wholeoh, how I'm breaking down
[Chorus]oooohhh my life
Someone come and, someone come and save my life (save my life)Someone come and, someone come and save my life (save my life)Someone come and, someone come and save my lifeCould it be this misery will suffice?
