I thought only good dreams would come to me at night
‘Cause you said the nightmares couldn’t get to me
If I got up with the sunrise
So I found comfort in closing my eyes
But that deceives you, my eyelids were still see-through
I wish they’d stop telling me ‘hold on a little longer
What doesn’t kill you makes you stronger anyway’
I don’t know what you think I’m made of
But I could really use a day off
I promise I’ll stay out of your way
They say knowledge is power
But I’d rather know nothing at all
They say dreams fill your heart with desire
But how do I sleep after all I saw
Can you do a memory wipe
So I can revive the light that
Suffocated from this ache ohh (?)
I know you say it’s not worth it - I beg to differ
But come on, let’s go, shut up ‘cause you don’t know
Five four three - this is too much for me
Every time I think I move on there’s something that brings me right back to square one
It could be a book, a picture or even my own songs
I find no comfort in knowing this life is long
Just another opportunity for the world to have me begging on me knees
They say knowledge is power
But I’d rather know nothing at all
They say dreams fill your heart with desire
But how could I sleep after all I saw
Can you do a memory wipe
So I can revive the light that
Suffocated from this ache ohh?
I know you say it’s not worth it - I beg to differ
But come on, let’s go, shut up ‘cause you don’t know
I don’t need more therapy
No e and the r (?) didn’t work for me
Stop deciding what is best for me (yeah)
I don’t want these memories
No all I want is to find some peace
Take them away, take it all away
In five four three two—
Five four three two
