sleep come

sleep come

sleep, where is thy maiden hand?
why do you run from me?
my day has been long and grand
and now i desire thee, sleep

My pain has been great
My heart has been broken
sleep, come to me
give me peace, your token

as i lay awake in bed
i cry out for you
the thought of sleep inside my head
its all i can do

To not take a knife to my broken heart
To take a razor to my weary wrists
To put a bullet through my conflicted head
come sleep, lay in my bed

i pray the Lord my soul to keep
kill me quickly, in my sleep
