Narcolepsy

Lyrics

[Verse 1] I'm on a train, but there's no one at the helm And there's a demon in my brain Who starts to overwhelm-whelm-whelm-whelm-whelm Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh And there it goes, my last chance for peace You lay me down, but I get no release [Chorus] And I say I, I try to keep awake I try to swim beneath I try to keep awake, but I I can feel this narcolepsy slide into another nightmare [Verse 2] And there's a demon in my head who starts to play A nightmare tape loop of what went wrong yesterday And I hold my breath 'til it's more than I can take And I close my eyes, I dream that I'm awake [Chorus] I try to keep awake I try to keep awake I try to keep awake, but I I can feel this narcolepsy slide into another nightmare [Guitar Solo] [Bridge] I read dead Russian authors volumes at a time I write everything down except what's on my mind 'Cause my greatest fear is that sucking sound And then I know I'll never get back out And there's a bone in my hand that connects to a drink In a crowded room where the glasses clink And I'll buy you a beer and we'll drink it deep Because that keeps me from falling asleep, I said [Refrain] "How'd you like to be alone and drowning?" "How'd you like to be alone and drowning?" "How'd you like to be alone and drowning?" "How'd you like to be alone and drowning?" [Chorus] Still, I find this narcolepsy slide, slide Into another nightmare [Outro] (Keep awake, keep awake, keep awake) And I can feel this narcolepsy slide
