Now I lay me down to sleep,
I pray my sanity to keep.
For if some peace I do not find,
I'm pretty sure I'll lose my mind.

I pray I find a little quiet
Far from the daily riot.
May I lie back--not have to think
About what I will do if you push me over the brink,
or who your with, or where your at
i just hope i don't have to hit you with a fucking bat..

I pray for time all to myself
(Should I just kill myself?)

To cuddle in my nice, soft bed
(Oh no, I’m just about dead!)

Some silent moments for goodness sake
(All this pain, I cannot take)

And I need not live as it may seem--
(what the hell, life is but a dream)

Yes now I lay me down to sleep,
I pray my sanity for me to keep,
But as I look around I know--
I must have lost them long ago!
