I'm on a train, but there's no one at the helm
And there's a demon in my brain starts to overwhelm
And there it goes, my last chance for peace
I 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 can feel this narcolepsy slides
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
But I can feel this Narcolepsy slides
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 will 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

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 slides
Into another nightmare

Keep awake
Keep awake
Keep awake
And I can feel this narcolepsy slides...
