Before You Sleep

  Before You Sleep

In the pain of my silence,
I'm about to break!
It will end with violence,
Because this is more than I can take!
The pain is like a fire,
Rolling right through me!
The pain is truly blinding,
I really cannot see!

You, (you), did this to me...
With your selfishness and greed,
You put your wants,
Before my needs...

So I am taking!

I am taking...everything!
Everything you hold dear!
I am breaking...everything!
I want to reduce you to tears!
I want to be!
The last thing that you see...
Before you sleep...

The anger in my heart,
Is fighting to get out!
And I don't know where to start,
But I know I want to break you down!
The pain is like a fire,
Rolling right through me!
The pain is truly blinding,
I really cannot see!

You, (you), did this to me, (to me, to me),
With your selfishness and greed,
Why did you put your wants,
Before my needs?

And so I am taking!

I am taking...everything!
Everything you hold dear!
I am breaking...everything!
I want to see your tears!
I want to be!
The last thing that you see...
Before you sleep...

Before you turn out the lights,
I will be there!
Before you close your eyes,
I will be there!
Before you can dream,
I will be in your mind...
And I will not be kind!

Because I am taking!

I am taking...everything!
Everything you hold dear!
I am breaking...everything!
I want to reduce you to tears!
I am taking...everything!
Everything that you love!
I am breaking...everything!
Everything that you think of!
I want to be...!
The last thing that you see...
Before you sleep!
              (sleep!)
               (sleep!)
                (sleep!)
