And I'm laying there and I'm trying to sleep
and all I can feel is my heart beat
and it keeps going I'm not afraid
keeps going I hear things that aren't there

I hear things outside
I hear things going on inside
inside I keep thinking of everything
and every corner that I can hide in

And I keep thinking, keep thinking
and all i want to is sleep i just
want to sleep forget everything
and i want to forget everything i see

and the thoughts i perceive
all the faces that look back at me
i won't be awake but i just heard something else
and my mind starts going again and there's

my heartbeat and it keeps pounding
and i just won't sleep i just don't sleep
i don't want to see anything
i don't want to hear anything

turn everything on turn everything on
turn everything on and i think and i
think and i think and then maybe i can
stop thinking because everything is going for me

everything is going for me and
i don't have to think of anything
but my mind just won't stop it won't
let go it's like a fist and a clench

a fist in a clench in a clench there's a fist
that can hold onto something that will keep you awake
and alive and thinking and that little sound you heard
right outside i know what those sounds are that's

just fear that's just my fear that's just my mind
haha that's just what i'm thinking about and if
i go down there and i look and i look out that window
as much as i can and every moment i'm staring

out that window and i can't see a fucking thing
there's nothing there so why don't you sleep
just lay down but there's a sound and it came from
right beyond where you can see so you

go a little further go
a little further go closer
you wanna know what the story is
you wanna know what the truth is

you just have to find out what that sound is
that's keeping you awake but if you could just
get a little sleep you know if you could just
sleep a little you could relax and not just sleep

everything go away just for a little while just
for a little longer you know you'd be thinking better
and you'd be seeing better and if you saw better
you'd know what to do but you don't know what to do

so you sit there and you think and you hear
and you think you hear and you think you know
but you don't really because how could you know
how could you possibly know a thing look at you

sitting there you can't even sleep you can't sleep
how can you think if you can't think then
what are you something a little less than human
something more mechanical perhaps but at least

if there's a sound out there you hear it first
that's what gives you the edge that's what makes you
more awake than most that's what keeps you going
that's your little ghost haunting every corner

haunting every dream you are the ghost
that haunts your own soul i'm not afraid
i'm not afraid of things i can't see i'm not afraid
of nothing I'm not afraid and I'm not

scared and I can stay here and watch and I know
everything's going to be okay it's just fear
it's just fear it's just fear
it can't kill you
