As You Sleep lyrics

[Verse 1]
Cold, blue, lifeless, deathless, illuminated
By the machines that hold you on this side
Anger or fear, so calm, unaffecting
I cease to live, I fear my infection

[Chorus]
Watching over your soul as you sleep
Injecting nightmares as you sleep
Injecting nightmares as you sleep
Infecting nightmares as you sleep

[Verse 2]
All I want is your purity
All I want in this world is your mind
The timeless place tamed by your psyche
Living the world of dreams, always sleeping

[Verse 3]
Unlike the feigned peace brought by morphine
That lay discarded at my feet
I float in blackness, wrench myself away
Down deserted hallways filled with eerie light

[Bridge]
The muted screams of the dying pierced my soul
Like a dull and rusted needle
As I stumble in my morphine haze
Barely conscious of the predawn light
That filters through steel meshed windows
Keeping out your life
Reigning in your death, I stumble past the coated watchers
Break into a run, yearning for the air outside
I never stop thinking of you
[Verse 1]
Cold, blue, lifeless, deathless, illuminated
By the machines that hold you on this side
Anger or fear, so calm, unaffecting
I cease to live, I fear my infection

[Chorus]
Watching over your soul as you sleep
Injecting nightmares as you sleep
Injecting nightmares as you sleep
Infecting nightmares as you sleep
