I'll Sleep When I'm Dead Songtext
von Set It Off

It′s the same each and every night
Glare at my screen with two big bloodshot eyes
I'm stuck self-torturing, my meds are failing me
Internal clock in smithereens
Can′t fix this, I'm hopeless

My eyes are stapled open wide
As I lay down on my side
I am bouncing off these walls

Notice my hands begin to twitch
Unprovoked assaulting of my conscious wit
Me and the TV are enemies
Sickening static surrounds my mind
I'm losing time, and realizing that
After days of thought that I′m
Stuck self-torturing, my meds are failing me
Internal clock in smithereens
Can′t fix this, I'm hopeless


My eyes are stapled open wide
As I lay down on my side
I am bouncing off these walls
As I focus on the clock
Time stands still, but I cannot
I should strap myself in bed
I guess I′ll sleep when I am dead

Talk to myself, lie in the darkness so content
As the sun begins to rise, I can barely shut my eyes
This crazed, delirious mess, laughing at everything I see
My sanity is spent, just tell me where our time went
I'm losing it

Attention, all insomniacs, please raise your right hand
And kindly, repeat after me
"I guess I′ll sleep when I am dead"

'Cause I′m stuck self-torturing, my meds are failing me
Internal clock in smithereens
Can't fix this, I'm hopeless
My eyes are stapled open wide
As I lay down on my side
I am bouncing off these walls
As I focus on the clock
Time stands still, but I cannot
I should strap myself in bed
I guess I′ll sleep when I am dead

I guess I′ll sleep when I am
