We watched the sun come up
Listened to the sound of morning
The people going to work
And all the birds are crying
Sleep is for dead men
But am I dead or dreaming?
Said I don't know anymore
I don't know anymore
All my dreams are nightmares, baby
Sleep is for dead men anyway
All my dreams are nightmares, baby
So I can't go to sleep
They put me in a room
Where all the walls are white
Sealed in like a tomb
Feels just like I've died, yeah
Demons in, demons out
Still no rest for the wicked
And no visitors today
Still no visitors today
All my dreams are nightmares, baby
Sleep is for dead men anyway
All my dreams are nightmares, baby
So I can't go to sleep
[Three month waiting list
Plead case to an overworked nurse
Who shrugs at you with tired, defeated eyes
Fifty doctor visits
Ten year diagnosis
Echoing down a cold, lit hallway]
Sleep is for dead men
But am I dead or dreaming?
Said I don't know anymore
I don't know anymore
