Let Me Sleep
Sometimes I get this feeling
I am living in a dream
That things can not really be
As fantastic as they seem
Then I shiver feeling scared
That this dream will have to end
That I will be ejected
From a World that is pretend
When I lived in my nightmare
It was sleep that gave me calm
My little slice of freedom
But it never lasted long
I hope I am not still there
If so, please don't shake the bed
If I am still in my nightmare
Let me sleep the sleep of the dead
