lyrics

Go back to sleep, it's just a dream
Toothless, torn from mothers breast
And smashed against the cold concrete
It's just a dream, go back to sleep

Go back to sleep, it’s just a dream
The words that every mother said
When wracked and writhing in your bed
And torn apart at every seam
Go back to sleep, it’s just a dream

But your dreams don’t offer you distraction
The horrors manifest within your mind
Adrift on a cold sea of strange abstraction
The torment and the terror intertwined

Go back to sleep, it’s just a dream
I awake choked with a cotton breath
My mouth stuck shut with gum of flesh
And nothing remains as it seemed
Go back to sleep, it’s just a dream

But my dreams don’t offer me distraction
The horrors manifest within my mind
Adrift on a cold sea of strange abstraction
The torment and the terror intertwined

Go back to sleep, it’s just a dream
My ma once uttered, by my bed
Cut with my fingernails; my head
She’d heal my wounds and help me keep
…my sanity
…go back to sleep
…go back to sleep
…go back …to sleep
