It's hard to give a damn about the sticks or stones
when all my bones been shook so long
and the ghost inside my head it keeps a floating on
and all night long I pray him gone

like ooooooh ooooooh
Think i've forgotten how to sleep
ooooooh ooooooh
Think i've forgotten how to sleep

oh i dont wanna close my eyes
coz i just wanna stay alive
i'm fighting with the beast inside
coz i dont wanna close my eyes

oh i dont wanna close my eyes
coz i just wanna stay alive
i'm fighting with the beast inside
and i dont wanna close my eyes

(beat)

been dancing in the gallows just to lose myself
I've come undone I need some help
and i'm sick of throwing pennies in the wishing well
coz everyone goes straight to hell

like ooooooh ooooooh
Think i've forgotten how to sleep
ooooooh ooooooh
Think i've forgotten how to sleep

oh i dont wanna close my eyes
coz i just wanna stay alive
i'm fighting with the beast inside
coz i dont wanna close my eyes

oh i dont wanna close my eyes
coz i just wanna stay alive
i'm fighting with the beast inside
coz i dont wanna close my eyes
oh i dont wanna close my eyes

i'm fighting with the beast inside

oh i dont wanna close my eyes

i'm fighting with the beast inside

oh i dont wanna close my eyes

i'm fighting with the beast inside

oh i dont wanna close my eyes
coz i just wanna stay alive
i'm fighting with the beast inside
coz i dont wanna close my eyes
eyes
