Orion Simprini’s “Sleep” is written about her experience with heartbreak after one of the victims of her grooming spoke up publicly about being groomed alongside multiple either young former fans.
Let me sleep for a thousand years
Let the hands of time erase
Any vison of your face
Wake me up when the world is new
Wipe the memory from my brain
Till I can't recall your name
No more
I was addicted to the love that you fed my brain
Like a fine champagne
I was never sober
On no I couldn't get enough
Like that cheap cocaine
That you searched in vain
When the party's over
Hypnosis take me under
Eternal dreamless slumber
Let me sleep for a thousand years
Let the hands of time erase
Any vison of your face
Wake me up when the world is new
Wipe the memory from my brain
Till I can't recall your name
No more
I share my secrets in the dark
Looking for a friend
Who would understand
Pieces I am missing
You went and tore my world apart
For some petty fame
Said I should be shamed
Simply for existing
Comatose, never waking
Spare my heart, forever breaking
Let me sleep for a thousand years
Wipe the memory from my brain
Till I can't recall your name
Wake me up when the world is kind
Friends are beautiful and true
And there's nobody like you
Around
Let me sleep in a shroud of tears
Watch them falling down like rain
Wash my feelings down the drain
And wake me up when the Sun burns out
I'll be happy out in space
Where I never see your face
Again
Hypnosis take me under
Eternal dreamless slumber
Let me sleep for a thousand years
Wipe the memory from my brain
Till I can't recall your name
Wake me up when the world is kind
Friends are beautiful and true
And there's nobody like you
Around
Let me sleep in a shroud of tears
Watch them falling down like rain
Wash my feelings down the drain
And wake me up when the Sun burns out
I'll be happy out in space
Where I never see your face
Again
