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

And there it goes, my last chance for peace

You lay me down, but I get no release

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

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 till it's more than I can take

And I close my eyes and dream that I'm awake

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

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 that 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

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

Still I find this narcolepsy slide slide

Into another nightmare

Keep awake, keep awake, keep awake

And I can feel this narcolepsy slide
