Sleeping With Ghosts

Shadows in my chest
Whispers steal my breath
There's a ghost in my skin that won't let me sleep
Won't let me sleep
Won't let me sleep
Now it's screaming back
Begging me to drown

Take me where the silence bleeds
Follow me in my dreams
I taste the end in each broken sigh
A lullaby for when I die

I wake in cold sweat
The ceiling breathes like it knows I'm alive
My thoughts crawl out with teeth and open eyes
Feeding on truths that the dark denies

Take me where the silence bleeds
Follow me in my dreams
I taste the end in each broken sigh
A lullaby for when I die

I stitched my name into the dark
It's screaming back
Begging me to drown

Begging me to drown
Begging me

They don't wanna die
Not really
But the pressure inside their mind is relentless like a storm that never clears
Thoughts circle endlessly
Convincing them that peace can only come through silence
