"I'm Not Sleeping" lyrics

"I'm Not Sleeping"

She comes to me at night when I'm sleeping
She comes to me when I'm alone
She comes to me, she holds my head when I'm crying
She comes to me, she shuts my eyes
She brings me home

But I'm not sleeping anymore, anymore
But I'm not sleeping anymore, anymore

She tells me when you look at me, she tells me when you're lying
She tells me when you talk about me, she lays me on the floor
She tells me when you're whispering, she lies beside me naked
She tells me when you laugh at me and she locks all the doors

But I'm not sleeping anymore, anymore
But I'm not sleeping anymore, anymore

1-2-3-4-5-6-7 AM
All alone again, but I've been through all this shit before
Spend my nights in self defense, cry about my innocence
But I ain't all that innocent anymore, more, more

I see her on the TV, I see her in the movies
I see her in these animals that dance inside my head
I'll follow you down, baby, down into this valley
I'll follow you down, baby, but I won't come up again

But I'm not sleeping anymore, anymore
But I'm not sleeping anymore, anymore
I'm not sleeping
I'm not sleeping anymore

I said, rain, rain, go away
Come again some other day
'Cause I got all this shit to say
But I've gone back to find my way

My sister's mother's favorite son
Lost among the chosen one
But I've got news for everyone
'Cause I'm going out that door
