Sleep Now

Shoot down my hopes
Dragged through the criteria on my weakening bones
And they have the audacity to show me the ropes
Hurt me to help me or so I am told
God knows I can’t help it if I don’t
Go to sleep now
Go to sleep now
Go to sleep now
Go to sleep
And I don’t care now if it’s killing me
I’ll take what I want and I’ll spend the time I need
I don’t need you to say you’re worried
Your troubles outweigh mine, your troubles outweigh
You say to sleep now
You say to sleep now
I could sleep now
I should sleep now
They say to sleep now
Everyone’s asleep now
It’s not that I can’t sleep now
I just choose not to
Ignore what I’m told
Slowly and surely sinking deeper in this hole
I don’t need your safety rope I’ll do it myself
Sacrifices and tears to define my health
I don’t like it when you beg me to
Go to sleep now
Go to sleep now
Go to sleep now
Go to sleep
They say it’s too late
I say don’t question me
They it’s not ok
I say I don’t give a shit
They’ve all given up on me
You say I should go to sleep
Cause I’m scared now that it’s killing me
I’ll lose what I want to waste the time I so need
And I need you now but you’ve come and you’ve been
The problem is clear now, the problem was me
Why did I not sleep?
Why did I not sleep?
Everyone told me to sleep
Everyone was helping me
Why did I not see?
Why was it not clear to me?
Everyone was helping me
It’s too late to sleep now

I’ve got no rules, got no cause
No moral code to break or bend
The only guide I have tells me, compels me
To feel what I say and pretend that you’re gonna be ok
It’s not a sickness of the heart
I feel it running through my veins
The only message it carries tells me
No matter what I say, I know you’ll leave one day
When you’ve gone away I’ll know that I’ve bled you dry
You make my skin crawl
And I don’t know why
Telling me to love
I’m telling you no
And I’m afraid
She rises with the sunrise
I’m far too late again
Smile through my teeth
Till my gums begin to bleed
I’ll do it for myself, do it for myself
I’ll pretend it’s all alright
Yearning for your lips
While my eyes start to eclipse
Oh don’t make a fool of me
You’re feeling something
I’m stuck out in the cold
If you’re feeling something
I’d really like to know
You’re feeling something
I’m stuck out in the cold
You’re feeling something, I know
Oh I know

Dust

Steps into your world
Help me to see the truth
Pain in their words
The silence of the youth
Dust left to share
Homes broken and dead
Hate for all things rare
Festers like mould in your head
So give up your fight
Give up your pain
Surrender your life
Time makes dust of us all
So fear what you don’t understand
And hate what you fear
Spread the ugliness around
So it’s all that they hear
Hate me
Hate them
Hate everyone
Hate me
Hate them
Hate yourself

Heliophobia

You know what you want but you never ask what I need
Memories they come, this time so swiftly
It’s alright for you to say it’s in my head
I’m so sick of always coming second best
We are the vampires
So turn out the lights, turn out the lights
Before the bright blinds us
And the atmosphere dies
Always never good enough
Always better at other stuff
And I’ve said too much to too few
But when no one waits what can I do?
Never be a part of
Never will belong
Never be impressed by any of our songs
We’re hunted with words
We’re hunted with stakes
We’re the vampires that you just love to hate
Never feel the warmth
Never feel the love
Never feel the sun heating up our blood
I don’t need the sun
I just want your warmth
I just want your love
I just want your blood
And we’ll never be good enough
But we’ll try
We’ll always try
You know what you want but you never ask what I need
Heliophobia is what occurs in your mind
Your mind
We are the vampires
So turn out the lights, turn out the lights
Before the bright blinds us
And the atmosphere…
