it s hard to remember life innocence had a voice a whisper in the dark your youth has dissolved itself and you just mask the pain sleep away the days that stole your laughter blame away the blame that followed after lay to waste the ones that tried to heal you sleep away sleep away sleep away sleep away sleep yesterday brought the end it s time that we close the gates self medicated man water that s free of sin won t wipe your demons clean sleep away the days that stole your laughter blame away the blame that followed after lay to waste the ones that tried to heal you sleep away sleep away sleep away sleep away sleep away sleep away sleep away sleep away sleep not the start nor end no longer brothers nor friends the soldiers disappeared i watched them drown in fear weakness grows weakness grows weakness grows weakness grows weakness grows sleep away the days that stole your laughter blame away the blame that followed after lay to waste the ones that tried to heal you sleep away sleep away sleep away sleep away sleep away away sleep away sleep away sleep away away away sleep
