From the recording NightHawkX Vol 1
Lyrics
[verse 1]
I can't go to sleep
I can't rest my head
The demons come into my dreams
They'll chase me till I'm dead
So, I stay awake
Where I can at least fight
And keep some sanity
Until it is night
[chorus]
Asleep or awake
It's all the same
I'm haunted by my fears
Like some sick game
It's hard to tell
What's real anymore
Awake or dreaming
Can't handle anymore
[verse 2]
Can't medicate this away
Can't shock it out of my brain
The constant battle
Has left me insane
Every night
Is a test of my will
To fight against myself
Yeah, I've had my fill
[chorus]
[bridge]
All the yelling and all the abuse
Planted this in my mind
The anxiety and hypervigilance
Is what I find
Has come from the root cause
Of being a personal whipping boy
Of the fearful and the lonely
It was their subtle joy
[chorus]
