Sleeping with the living

The music's not loud enough to drown out the lies

So lay down little girl and cover your eyes

Forgive and forget, that's what they all say

But can you when you've been tormented every minute of every day?

The music's not loud enough to cover the pain

So lay down little girl and watch the sky rain

Hush now child your covers are red

Go to sleep with the living, wake up with the dead

The music's not loud enough to smother your sorrow

So lay down little girl there won't be a tomorrow

It's really cruel to tell you this

But life's the only chance you've got, so lower the blade from your wrist

The music's not loud enough to block out your thoughts

So lay down little girl and dream of the fights you've fought

It won't be loud enough because it's all in your head

Sleep with the living, wake with the dead
