Now my eyes have shut closed,
when will the dream finally begin?
Slip through the world I know,
when will this perverted sleep end?

Remembering the last thing I saw,
that last meeting could have been so sweet.
Now that I've left in a huff once again,
the lamp post I went out to meet.

This life is too wonderful for me,
there's no fate but what we make.
I don't want to miss anything,
will you please shake me awake?

I miss all your smiles,
now I'll miss you grow old.
With all these needles and tubes,
my bed-ridden story is told.

What am I now, to you,
nothing but a fading memory?
God, give me life or death,
will someone please set me free.

I can't wake from this nightmare,
I've seem to found myself in.
Please pry my eyes open once more,
this is the last time that I sleep in.
