i couldn't sleep last night
my ears were ringing in my head
best friends with the boogie man
i may be better off here dead
running on empty once again
too tired for tears i dread
sink deep into those magic dreams
while i blast off in my bed

and you know i played it all in here
where everyone hides their darkest shades of fears
and i threw my whole night down the drain
you know cause everyone says that i'm not the same
since i changed my name

three hours later and i'm staring at the ceiling still
xanax does nothing more but calm the sleeping thrill
turning the pillows round and round to find the cold spot for my head
ah, bless my only friend

and you know i played it all in here
where everyone hides their darkest shades of fears
and i threw my whole night down the drain
you know cause everyone says that i'm not the same
and everyone turns tricks for fickle fame

i feel my body's lost control
my knees get weak as i drift away
and it gets darker, darker
dreaming's where i am

and you know i played it all in here
where everyone hides their darkest shades of fears
and i threw my whole night down the drain

and you know i played it all in here
where everyone hides their darkest shades of fears
and i threw my whole night down the drain
you know cause everyone says that i'm not the same
since i changed my name
