As I lay my head to rest Can't forget the daily process of decay Inhaling stress with every question I breathe Sleep is what I'm waiting for... fear is what I receive Trying to escape from reality lies, violence, disorder What is reality more Than a nightmare of someone else's making while dozing off, into a phase, between conscious and dreams holding on to the thoughts... Chorus: emotions turned numb, while escaping from here destiny lies in knowing what to dream... knowing when to dream As I lay my head to rest Link by link emotions break apart Cannot help to break the links Feel forced to break the links Swiftly I shut my eyes before this world as I lay my head down Succeeding in acute amnesia Gently embracing the morning star As I lay my head to rest Only questioning my disinterest I must seek MY own benefits Careless as I fall asleep Chorus: emotions turned numb, while escaping from here destiny lies in knowing what to dream... knowing when to dream
