about

This song is a musical representation of what my night terrors feel like. It is an auditory representation of flashbacks, PTSD, nightmares, and the feeling of being dragged through a terrifying mental place. It represents the vulnerability of experiencing something that is scary and isolating at the same time. "Sleep" addresses how alone people who experience these events can feel, because so much of it happens outside of other peoples' perception. I hope that this song can bring comfort to those who suffer from sleep disorders or flashbacks. It is a hard thing to try to explain to other people, and I think this song will bring a lot of relief to those who need to know that there is someone who understands.

lyrics

Sleep. Even when the lights go out…
Sleep. Even when the sun goes down…

And I can’t get away from this feeling
even when I sleep I feel awake
No I can’t run away from these dreams
Even when the dark is far away

Close. Even when you hold me close.
Feel. Even when I feel your love for me

No I can’t run away from these nightmares
Hidden in that bloody haunted past
No I can’t run away from these remnants
Living in my heart… let go at last!

Get out! Of my head. Ripping through me!
Get out of my soul… thrashing through me!
I feel it all again. I feel it all again.

Sleep. Sleeep…..

No I can’t get away from these nightmares
Hidden in that bloody haunted past
No I can’t run away from these dreams
Living in my heart.. let go at last

Sleep. Sleep….
