I am tired of this situation, this predilection
Me, you and this co-dependent infection
Your manufactured morality - plastic
My tolerance for pain - elastic
As beneath your pharmaceutical synapses I squirm
So now I invoke you, yeah, I invoke you
Why just won't you let me
Why just won't you let me
Why won't you let me - sleep
Your tenacious grip on Heaven
Is laced with cancerous intentions
This consuming affliction
An effect of forced contrition
And Iáve been reduced to a sheep - in wolf's clothing
A creature of self-loathing
A sycophant, a follower, a groveler
Terrified, betrayed, weak
So now I invoke you, yeah, I invoke you
Why just won't you let me
Why just won't you let me
Why won't you let me - sleep
I don't know what to believe
Must go, must breathe
Can't stay, won't deceive
I don't need you with me
This monster upon my bed
I met once upon a dream
My misplaced Catholicism
Forcing me to relinquish this dream
And I have given it, of my own distressed volition
Given power to your violence, lack of silence, shame and hate
And find myself too weakened to retaliate
So now I invoke you, yeah, I invoke you
Why just won't you let me
Why just won't you let me
Why won't you let me - sleep
And now, beneath my swollen cerulean eyes
Something breathes unbeknownst to your bi-polar lies
A burnt umber world, scarlet petal slumber
A mural in which I may smile - unencumbered
Yeah, kissed by a seraph
Reclaiming my mantra, my dogma, my religion, my decision
So now I invoke you, yeah, I invoke you
Why just won't you let me
Why just won't you let me
Why won't you let me -
Why just won't you let me
Why just won't you let me
Why won't you let me -
Why just won't you let me
Why just won't you let me
Why won't you let me - sleep
Me, you and this co-dependent infection
Your manufactured morality - plastic
My tolerance for pain - elastic
