I can’t sleep, the night is mine
Living my dream, the worst nightmare line
Shadows crawl where I try to hide
Even in darkness, fear won’t subside

I’m afraid to close my eyes
What if the horror still survives?
Monsters of my mind wait there
I feel them watching, everywhere

Bromazepam, lorazepam, etc…
Take me down, take me in
Lead me to sleep, let me descend
Into the nightmare I can’t defend

Pill by pill, I chase relief
A temporary truce with my grief
I know it’s not a perfect cure
But in their haze, the night is pure

Bromazepam, lorazepam, etc…
Pull me under, let me float
Into the dark, the unknown deep
Into the dreams where shadows creep

I know the danger, I know the cost
Sleep feels like salvation and loss
Every swallow a fragile key
To doors I fear, yet need to see

Bromazepam, lorazepam, etc…
Guide me softly, let me fall
Into the night I can’t embrace
Into the silence of this haunted place
