Sleep

I've got bells in my ears,
and the devil on my side.
He knows the truth,
the one thing that I hide.

What's a girl to do...
when your world isn't right?

I can't hide
cause' people wonder.
I can't cry
cause' people ask.
I can't run
cause' they will follow.
I can't bleed.
I'll use my mask.

I'll smile, I'll pretend,
I'll daydream, I'll laugh.

I'll make my life up.
Make my own map.

It'll lead to places,
scary, new,

but in the end
it lead's back to you.

My bells go crazy,
my devil get's mad,

pull the sheets over my eyes
and this world I had.

The bliss of innocence,
it's all to short.

When it's lost, your lost.
Build up walls, be a fort.

Tether yourself down,
with a thick iron cable.

It will be the only thing keeping you stable.

So let's speed up my process,
speed up my life.

It's only a burden,
causing me strife.

Give me a kiss, the last thing you keep.
Let me go. Put me to sleep.
