SLEEP WHEN I'M DEAD

I've got a feeling that I'm gonna be depressed

For the next couple o' weeks, I won't be getting out of bed

Or doing anything important or anything worthwhile

If my mother calls I'll open a window and I'll smile and I'll say

I'm doing fine, and I'll crawl right back to bed

Where I'll ruminate on past experiences in my head

And I'll think about my life, how I really missed the mark

How I'll never break the cycle 'cause I like being in the dark

I'll leave my tab unpaid, goodbyes unsaid

I'm letting off steam, he's losing his head

Sold my car, put it all on red

Stay up all night, I'll sleep when I'm dead

I had at chance at life and drank that chance away

I had a future that was promising, but chose a life of pain

I'll suffer endlessly until the day I die with no relief

Push my family away so when I'm gone no one will grieve

And they'll say "he's in a better place", knowing damn well I'm in hell

For all the sins that I committed, for the things I did not tell

For all the lies that I have told and the things that I have stole

For the hearts that I left broken when I jumped into that hole

I'll leave my tab unpaid, goodbyes unsaid

I'm letting off steam, he's losing his head

Sold my car, put it all on red

Staying up all night, I'll sleep when I'm dead

I'll leave my tab unpaid, goodbyes unsaid

I'm letting off steam, he's losing his head

Sold my car, put it all on red

Staying up all night, I'll sleep when I'm dead

I'll sleep when I'm dead
