Sleep With One Eye Open

I can see them.
Yes, they're definitely there.
The shadows crawling on the walls,
All my pain, all my guilt
What I should've said has vanished.

I'm half asleep..I can feel it
Drowsy..helpless
Utterly pointless
Why sleep when you do not rest?
Why live when you are not living?
Why cry..when you've done it all before..

I do not trust what I will find in my sleep.
Therefore I must sleep with one eye open.
