Monsters Lyrics - Before The Dawn

4am I'm still awake 

Before the dawn the Sandman will come with nightmares 

I won't let him in 

There's nothing in head 

Empty walls, empty bed 

I am just waiting 

Restless beats of heart and breathing break the silence 

I am still here 

The absence of light 

Narrows my eyesight 

But still I see them 

It's not angels that sing 

And call me by my true name 

They have forsaken me 

Dead tired but aware 

Sleep invites the demons, I am not prepared 

I have to stay awake 

There are monsters in my head 

On my walls, under my bed 

I am dying 

I am jaded, I am numb, I am counting on the sun 

Salvation to come 

The absence of light 

Narrows my eyesight 

But still I see them 

It's not angels that sing 

And call me by my true name 

Why have you forsaken me
