lyrics

Sweet

Sleep descends a merciful curtain
Deep and troubled where only nightmares can disturb
And nightmares are not real
Nightmares are not real
No matter how they feel
And I only want to heal but the doorbell rings and it's the imp again
Grinning his stupid grin
He waits for you to let him in
So the real fun can begin
And now that I've destroyed everything
That ever grew so green within
I close the door on all I missed
Seize up tighter than a fist and
If I ever get out of this
I'll be sweeter than a kiss
You read funny things I wrote
A long long time ago
While the flesh melts off my bones
Till there's nothing left at all and
I remember thinking that I'd never let it come to this
But winding roads and heavy loads
We slowly look for turns we missed
