I walk these grounds with lifeless eyes My body imitates these sleepless nights The mare is close by It rises when I shut down Slowly losing my grip on reality Crowds of restless figures start to dance around the room In which I lie when I try to rest Is what shields me from the outside At the very best Through the night My eyelids open wide Tonight I'll wake With a restless mind Tonight May rest come easy to the restless mind This constant awareness Keeps me in the dark The ones I love are the ones that hurt No energy to hold my own I can't bare what I am supposed to hold I take the drug that calms me down I have the drink that knocks me out But the chemistry, it fails me Sleep, to sleep May this fever burn away And a fresh new mind awake Let the living creature lie Let his dreams live through the night Let the living creature lie Let his dreams live through the night (Live through the night) My eyelids open wide Tonight I'll wake With a restless mind Tonight May rest come easy to the restless mind
