Sleep and I have always had a contentious relationship. I've had a handful of extremely vivid dreams that decades later I remember as memories. I've also had a handful of lucid dreams I don't recall exactly, but I remember waking up due to sheer uncanniness.

Your conscience is a wolf.
Walls are being built, deception wears its veil.
Her charm is fleeting but her love just will not last.
Far from men you hang and sway with no defender.
Pushed around by the noise of this carefree crowd.
Her charm is fleeting but her love just will not last.

I will not sleep while you are throwing anchors to a drowning generation.

Yeah, well that's what I said.
Drive drive your vultures home.
You're killing me.
Just bury me.
Yeah, well that's what I said.
I said exactly what I meant.
You're killing me.
Just bury me.

Yeah, well that's what I said [x4]

Hell is empty, the devils are here. [x2]
