Sleep Evil Sleep

Catch me, I'm falling
Down the rabbit hole
Things get quite mad
When you've got no soul
Help me, I'm spinning
I'm out of control
Wish I could find something
To make me whole

I can see the metal strike the pedal sends me firing away (ah-ooh, ooh, ooh)
I can see the guards with their pitchforks and torches lit from my gold flame (ah, ah, ah, ah)
But as far as I run and as hard as I try, I can never seem to make it out (ahh-ahh)
I'm flying off the edge of a cliff into hurricane

Save me, love, keep your vow
Put a heart in this tin girl now

Sleep evil sleep, it's the truth that I dread
Tomorrow we'll be back to tearing wires from our head
There is no one left to blame, just the things I have said
So, sleep evil sleep, tonight you are dead

Always such a marvellous thing to beat the sirens to the scene (ah-ooh, ooh, ooh)
I confess, it was me, I thought it was the end of days (ah, ah, ah, ah)
Oh, you never know where I'm gonna go
Any moment now, I'll become an explosive tidal wave

Save me, love, though I don't know how
Fix a brain on this straw girl now

Sleep evil sleep, you've torn me to shreds
I've spent the entire day putting out fires in my head
I squeeze myself real tight as my mind hangs by a thread
Please sleep evil sleep, tonight you are dead

Oh-oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh
Oh

Never living
Never ageing
Never growing
Never dying
Never learning
It's concerning
Disconcerting
I will never be free

I want the world to know
That I am in control
As they look upon my broken soul
They'll say "She was her own worst foe"

Save me love, keep your vow
Find some nerve for this coward now

Sleep evil sleep, it's all just in my head
Come the morning sun, I'll fight the same demons yet again
You can weld me to my knees, but I won't pray for mercy now
Sleep evil sleep, tonight you are dead
