Lyrics
I couldn't sleep last night
I struggled to sleep last night.
My ears were ringing in my head
I experienced a persistent ringing in my ears.
Best friends with the boogie man
I feel a close connection with fear or anxiety.
I may be better off here dead
I contemplate whether life would be better if I were dead.
Running on empty once again
I'm emotionally depleted once again.
Too tired for tears I dread
I'm too exhausted to cry, anticipating something unpleasant.
Sink deep into those magic dreams
I immerse myself in fantastical dreams as a coping mechanism.
While I blast off in my bed
I escape reality while lying in bed.
And you know I played it all in here
I replayed scenarios in my mind.
Where everyone hides their darkest shades of fears
People conceal their deepest fears.
And I threw my whole night down the drain
I wasted my entire night.
You know cause everyone says that I'm not the same
Others claim I've changed for the worse.
Since I changed my name
Emphasizes the transformation in identity or personality.
Three hours later and I'm staring at the ceiling still
Several hours have passed, and I'm still awake.
Xanex does nothing more but calm the sleeping thrill
Xanax fails to provide more than a temporary calming effect.
Turning the pillows round and round to find the cold spot for my head
I toss and turn, seeking comfort for my troubled mind.
Ah, bless my only friend
Refers to a substance as a comforting companion.
And you know I played it all in here
I revisit mental scenarios and fears.
Where everyone hides their darkest shades of fears
People hide their deepest fears within themselves.
And I threw my whole night down the drain
I wasted my entire night once again.
You know cause everyone says that I'm not the same
Others perceive a negative change in me.
And everyone turns turns tricks for fickle fame
People compromise their integrity for fleeting fame.
I feel my body's lost control
I sense a loss of physical control.
My knees get weak as I drift away
My knees weaken as I drift into unconsciousness.
And it gets darker, darker
The environment becomes increasingly darker.
Dreaming's where I am
Dreaming is my mental escape.
And you know I played it all in here
I continue to replay scenarios in my mind.
Where everyone hides their darkest shades of fears
People conceal their darkest fears internally.
And I threw my whole night down the drain
I wasted my entire night once more.
And you know I played it all in here
I revisit mental scenarios and fears again.
Where everyone hides their darkest shades of fears
People continue to hide their deepest fears.
And I threw my whole night down the drain
I wasted my entire night repeatedly.
You know cause everyone says that I'm not the same
Others insist I've changed negatively.
Since I changed my name
Reiterates the impact of the transformation in identity.
