I Don't Want To Sleep

I don't want to sleep,

I don't want to dream.

The alcohol scrambles my brain.

I know none of this is real,

But I can't get you out of me.

I gave you my heart, without thinking.

And now I can't get you out of my mind.

I don't want to sleep,

I don't want to dream.

Caffeine runs through my veins.

Every night, I try to fight it,

But it eats me up inside.

Every night, I struggle not to think,

But you've taken over my memories.

I don't want to sleep,

I don't want to dream.

Insomnia destroys my mind.

The way you make me feel,

Sometimes, I hallucinate you in front of me.

I don't know if I'm awake or asleep,

It feels like a lucid fantasy.

I don't want to sleep,

I don't want to dream.

Your absence shatters my spirit.

I see you when I close my eyes,

I hallucinate you in every moment and place.

With you, I felt invincible.

And without you, I'm just a poor devil.

I don't want to sleep,

I don't want to dream.

I don't want to feel,

I don't want to live.

Alcohol scrambles my brain.

Caffeine runs through my veins.

Insomnia destroys my mind.

Your absence destroys my spirit.
