Sleepless Eyes

Wait while I tap a vein
A pint of my blood
Deal out the perfect poison
Victim return, back where you've stood
Sip it, taste it
Let it occupy and blind
Consuming of the fumes
You are mine

Confess to me a sin
Impress me with a lie
Exchange for the vice you tread
I'm grinning through sleepless eyes

Witch of the blood-letting
Forcing out your tears
Spitting out your tales of woe
On my weakened, deafened ears
The hour of dark approaches
The night of the living dead
Empty-eyed staring
Make a fool then lay down your head

Confess to me a sin
Impress me with a lie
Exchange for a vice you tread
I'm grinning through sleepless eyes

Sleepless eyes
Sleepless eyes

Boarding up my kingdom
Leave all this behind
Spine stretched
To crawl back to the grind

Dusk walking
Into ashes of my home
Broken and silenced
Abandoned and cold
Commencing of the cleansing
The stealing of myself
Save a life, twist the knife
An enemy of my health

Confess to me a sin
Impress me with a lie
Exchange for a vice you tread
I'm grinning through sleepless eyes

Grinning through sleepless eyes
Sleepless
