Sleep is for the Dead
He called you, over
To invite you in; and you did
As alcohol sweats from your skin
You didn’t; you couldn’t know
What were his intentions;
You tried to keep closed what he opened
So wait for me cause I’m running
To find you; and save you from something
That was so grave, but I was late
So forgive me ‘cause I knew
That his love, was not love
Because he hurt you
And this night stays awake
As our eyes remain
Open, screaming your name
It’s cold and lonely
As the streets have paved the way
For your footsteps and stained dress
As you escape
Sleep is for the dead
And that’s what we’re trying to prevent
And that offense was evident
That you’re sleeping with the dead
Sleep is for the Dead
Sleep is for the Dead
Sleep is for the Dead
And now you’re sleepin’
