While I Sleep ft. Poison Lilly

V6-WILD

I had a map drawn in my mind Of all the moments of my life Calloused toes on wooden floors Danced 'til I could do no more Cheered each score we ever made Worked hard to make good grades Homecoming Queen - The belle at our ball Some would say I had it all.... But life is really funny that way One choice - one moment - can take it all away Now I sit here trying To figure this out How I don't hear a word I speak When my whole body shouts Why does everything feel wrong When it all felt so right....... I don't have time to sit here and weep I'll figure out something....while I sleep I dream of a man I call my own Two precious little babies And a spacious home I glide across a stage I'm all the rage But when I look around, I'm all alone..... "As the stage disappears I hear ringing in my ears...... I hear sirens and others are crying Somebody said someone here is dying....... But why can't I speak And why is my head so weak Wait, it's all coming back........ Wait, where am I at?......... Oh GOD! What did I do?"............... What did I do? We are prisoners to the choices we make And sometimes the bad ones.... end up sealing our fate I'm aware that I am dying Now that I've had time to think I made a foolish decision When I'd had too much to drink I knew what I was doing was wrong I didn't care, never took a moment to think........ Now I hear the monitors as they beep Counting down...as I take one last sleep I can hear my family As they're crying over me Now I can't tell them I'm sorry And I can't even let them know That I don't want to die But they have to let me go I never meant to hurt them I just took it way too far And I knew that I was drunk But I still...took the wheel...of that car I never planned on dying But no one ever does I was someone everyone knew Now no one will know who I ever was Cause life slowly moves along As my memory fades to dust Now the preacher ask the Lord my soul to keep As the dirt covers over.....my final sleep
