My faults were always in the light as long as I lived in your shadow Pushed out leaving all my hopes behind just for a glimpse of attention But as I turned away and searched for something of my own Suddenly you noticed me you never wanted this So now I'm torn between the things I want and the life that never stood a chance Your tasted they've never changed I simply became the poison that you crave It's in your veins creeping slowly to your heart It's sinking in as your eyes are getting heavy Don't fall asleep, don't fall asleep Don't drift into this nightmare Don't fall asleep, don't fall asleep Or you will never see The illusion you breathe to honestly think you could fly You know wings are only as strong as the heart that beats with them But you're already dead inside It's a sad shame to see what you'll become You'll be all alone It's in your veins creeping slowly to your heart It's sinking in as your eyes are getting heavy Don't fall asleep, don't fall asleep Don't drift into this nightmare Don't fall asleep, don't fall asleep Or you will never see There's no truth in the way you look at me Searching the surface for what you want to see But you're mind is set you're blind as can be You'll never know what lies beneath You're tastes they've never changed I simply became the poison that you crave Can you feel this on your lips? Desperate for another dose of danger Close your eyes and let the feeling take over As you're washed away by the fear Acceptance is something that's hard to live by When regret is only friend that you hold dear It's in your veins creeping slowly to your heart It's sinking in as your eyes are getting heavy Don't fall asleep, don't fall asleep Don't drift into this nightmare Don't fall asleep, don't fall asleep Or you will never see There's no truth in the way you look at me Searching the surface for what you want to see But you're mind is set you're blind as can be You'll never know what lies beneath
