Just Wanna Sleep

I'm so sick and tired of this life that I'm living 
What was it that had kept me driven
The blood on my hands for all those years has thicken 
For all my sins I just want to be forgiven

From one road block to another I try to overcome
But all I could hear was the sound of drum 
As the pain began to get numb 
One question was ask where am I from 
The answer was just another kid from the slum  
Who was just trying to make it young

I'm tired of everybody trying to bring me down 
Leaving me under water to drown 
And I'm disgust by myself for letting them take my crown
They trampled on my playground

Let me sleep that's all I ask
I'm sure that's not a hard task 
But before I go I'll take off this mask 
And show you the me of the past 


Sometimes demon control you and sometimes you control them
