This song is about dealing with the problems in life and those who hurt you by turning to drugs. It's about that last moment of peace as the effects take over your mind and body. The last thing you see is the one you love, kneeling by your side as you slip into a coma.
Sleep with the Angels
Date: 11/22/2003
I know I said never again
But I had to get away
From the every day pain
It'll be alright
You found me here in the zone
My body's so far gone
My mind is almost home
But I'm so far behind
And maybe this time
I'll trust in the lies
But I
I could throw everything away
I could close my eyes for a hundred days
Sleep with the angels softly
No one around to harm me
And everything that ever was
Problems I could never solve
A maze of crooked walls
It's hard to care
Take me anywhere you can
'Cuz I'm lost where I am
It's more than I can stand
For I
I could throw everything away
I could close my eyes for a hundred days
Sleep with the angels softly
No one around to harm me
I don't know but I'd like to think I do
I couldn't ever stand here next to you
You look at me quietly
And I don't want to leave but I'm on my way
I'm crazy in the night
It's a fuzzy kind of flight
My brain is feeling light
It's nothing new
And life is passing me by
I ride on the passenger side
We zoom zoom through the night
It's all I can do
But I'm out of time
I'll see you on the other side
'Cuz I
I just threw everything away
Gonna close my eyes for a hundred days
Sleep with the angels softly
No one around to harm me
I don't know but I'd like to think I do
I couldn't ever stand here next to you
You look at me quietly
And I don't want to leave but I'm on my way
And I could throw everything away
I could close my eyes for a hundred days
Sleep with the angels softly
Sleep with the angels softly
Sleep with the angels softly
No one around to harm me
No one around to harm me
No one around to harm me
No one around...
