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]
