[Intro] My eyes are feeling heavy, am a finally falling asleep? [Instrumental] [Verse 1] I awaken in my life, same as always But my slumber was so much brighter than this life, could be Why can' I just shut my eyes again And go back to dreamland [Pre-Chorus] I wish I could sleep forever Maybe then my life would be grand But since I'm awake I guess I'll have to wait To return to my slumber [Chorus] (Hush my darling, shut those eyes) (Nothing's left for you in this mind) (Just drift off to sleep, my dear) (Enjoy this peaceful slumber) [Instrumental] [Verse 2] What a lucid dream I had; I swear it seemed real That person in my head, is that who makes my subconscious visions Why are they so adamant about me spending my life asleep Oh no, I feel myself falling into a slumber [Pre-Chorus] I wish I could sleep forever Maybe then my life would be grand But since I'm awake I guess I'll have to wait To return to my dreams [Chorus] (Hush my darling, shut those eyes) (Nothing's left for you in this mind) (Just drift off to sleep, my dear) (Enjoy this peaceful slumber) (I've been hard at work in here) (Reshaping your world) Sleep Sleep Sleep [Instrumental] [Verse 3] I need to stay awake because my dreams are out to get me They lure me in with joy, but then I'm locked inside my mind I have to try and fight my mind that's falling asleep Oh, why is it so hard to stay awaaaake [Pre-Chorus] I don't want to sleep forever I want to live my waking life But I can't stay awake forever I feel an oncoming slumber No, I can't just give up yet I need to steady my thoughts Lest I lose myself (Oh darling, you already have) [Chorus] I don't want to shut my eyes (Well, I'm not giving you a choice) I don't want to enter a slumber (But, darling, you already have) No, I know you're lying to me, this nightmare can't be real (Then why don't you turn around and face your mental slumber) Sleep Sleep I don't want to fall asleep Slumber Slumber Can my love come and wake me from this slumber [Instrumental] [Outro] Slumber A slumber I'm locked inside a slumber Can you please come and wake me from this slumber [Instrumental] [Music box] [End]
