This one's the last of the older songs i put in Bad Dreams, the B-side to Puking Up The Paranoia
Obviously inspired by Sleep, but rather it's the opposite, the fear of being aware in a coma
Wathcya think?

Someone left the television on (Turn it off! Turn it off! Turn it off! Turn it off!!!)
I’m already gone, I’ve already gone (I know you’re there, I can hear you cough.)
Now it’s time for you to GO TO SLEEP…
GO TO SLEEP! GO TO SLEEP! GO TO SLEEP!
Always pricking me with pins and needles
To see if I still feel since I’m less than fetal
My nerves are working under my thin skin
So please stop stickin’ that fucking thing in
There are so many near me (I should count them instead)
But can any hear me (I Used to- I used to feel safe when in bed)
“PUT ME TO SLEEP!!!”
I’ve run out of sheep…
I’m not waking up, NOT WAKING!
Stop waiting by my bed… You Creeps…
Tuck me in my bad luck, I’m not faking!
Put me to- An then GO TO SLEEP…
Honey… Please don’t give me a kiss…
‘Cause I’m such a sick, sick, sick sadist
The bloody ambulances are my sheep
…….THESE SIRENS PUT ME TO SLEEP!!!
It’s late an all your stories put me to sleep
So please don’t wait, don’t wait up for me
Don’t just sit here at my feet
…Listening to my heart beat.
Someone left the television on (Turn it off! Turn it off! Turn it off! Turn it off!!!)
I’m already gone, I’ve already gone (I know you’re there, I can hear you cough.)
Now it’s time for you to GO TO SLEEP…
GO TO SLEEP! GO TO SLEEP! GO TO SLEEP!
You’re blood… YOU’RE BLOOD… Watching all mine drain…
The Creeps… The whole family… Drivin’ yourselves insane
Don’t tell me whose blood I took to stay
LOOK AWAY! LOOK AWAY!! LOOK AWAY!!!
…I don’t want you… To see me like this…
Fed through a tube… The same way I piss…
The Cure… The Cure… To being comatose
Is apparently an overdose, an overdose…
So fill up my I.V. with pills until I look lively
JUST LOOK AWAY WHEN I PEE!!! If I pee…
I’m not waking up, NOT WAKING!
Stop waiting by my bed… You Creeps…
Tuck me in my bad luck, I’m not faking!
Put me to- An then GO TO SLEEP…
No free experimental treatment, Euthanasia is the only way
Doctor take a seat, sorry, but I’m sick of the children’s laughter
Please tell the rest of the staff… That I’ve enjoyed my stay…
But I’M OFF TO HAPPILY EVER AFTER!!! HAPPILY EVER AFTER!!!
What’s more red, my drip or tube to “Tinkle”
…The food with the medication flavor is slowing!!!
Saviors… I hope you took pleasure in the knowing
The look on my face… Had not one wrinkle…
Someone left the television on (*beep*)
I’m already gone, I’ve already gone (*Beep*)
Now it’s time for you to GO TO SLEEP… (*Beep*)
GO TO SLEEP! GO TO SLEEP! GO TO SLEEP! (*Beee-)
Just put all those thoughts with me (-eee-)
Their “what if” thoughts of post livin’ (-eee-)
SO THEY CAN GET THEIR REST… (-eeeeeeee-)
Knowin’ I’ve always had this awareness (-eee-)
