Narcolepsy

I'm on a train, but there's no one at the helm
And there's a demon in my brain, that starts to overwhelm
And there it goes, my last chance for peace
You lay me down, but I get no release
And I say I
I try to keep awake, I try to swim beneath
I try to keep awake, but I
I can feel this narcolepsy slide
Into another nightmare

And there's a demon in my head who starts to play
A nightmare tape loop of what went wrong yesterday
And I hold my breath 'til it's more than I can take
And I close my eyes, I dream that I'm awake

I try to keep awake
I try to keep awake
I try to keep awake
But I, I can feel this Narcolepsy slide
Into another nightmare

I read dead Russian authors, Volumes at a time
I write everything down, except what's on my mind
'Cause my greatest fear is the sucking sound
Then I know I'll never get back out

And there's a bone in my hand that connects to a drink
In a crowded room where the glasses clink
And I'll buy you a beer and we'll drink it deep
Because that keeps me from falling asleep

I said, how'd you like to be alone and drowning
How'd you like to be alone and drowning
How'd you like to be alone and drowning
How'd you like to be alone and drowning
Still I find this narcolepsy slides, slides, into another nightmare

Keep awake, keep awake, keep awake

And I can feel this narcolepsy slide
