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

Unprovoked assaulting of my conscious wit
Me and the TV are enemies
Sickening static surrounds my mind

And realizing that after days of thought that

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

Laughing at everything I see
My sanity is spent
Just tell me where my time went

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
