My Demons Can't Sleep - Temperance

Why am I fighting another night

With something I can’t believe is real?

I am restless and broken

Why?

I need you to tell me why

The skeletons in my closet

They’re endlessly twisting my feelings

I’m hiding from the darkest side of me

My demons can’t sleep, they’re wide awake

And this is not the perfect day

My demons can’t sleep and I can feel

That there’s no rest or peace for me

I want them to go but I know

That’s impossible

I want them to sleep but they say

They won’t fade away

My demons can’t sleep

My demons can’t sleep

How?

I’m asking myself how

How did I end up in here?

Which was my mistake

Time

I’m running out of time

I feel like I’m losing ground

I am faithless, they’re ruthless, I’m over

Maybe sorry is the missing word

My demons can’t sleep, they’re wide awake

And this is not the perfect day

My demons can’t sleep and I can feel

That there’s no rest or peace for me

I want them to go but I know

That’s impossible

I want them to sleep but they say

They won’t fade away

Turning and turning the story won’t change

Hiding my faults just drives me insane

Running and running away from myself

It isn’t exactly the way out of hell

Maybe the demons won’t look at my cries

Maybe they’re trying to open my eyes

What if the one to be blamed it was me

What if I finally say that I’m wrong?

What if I finally say

Let it go!

Will they fade?

My demons can’t sleep

My demons can’t sleep

They’re wide awake

And this is not the prefect day

My demons can’t sleep and I can feel

(My demons can’t sleep, oh)

That there’s no rest or peace for me

I want them to go and I know now

It’s possible

I want them to sleep but they say

They won’t fade away

My demons can’t sleep

My demons can’t sleep

My demons can’t sleep
