Lyrics

Sandman

[Verse 1]

Stay complacent long enough

You’ll start to feel nothing

It’s lovely until it’s rough

Give your heart to tortured souls

And they’ll leave you tattered, unraveled

And you’re the fool

[Pre-Chorus]

Talked to the moon from my window

She’s so cold, doesn’t know

I think I might close my eyes for the last time tonight, I’ll go

Wish he would pay me a visit

I’ll listen to his trope

Long as he tells me it’s beautiful and dangerous

Oh, I know

[Chorus]

Sandman, could you put me to sleep?

Kill me kindly and quiet

I’m waiting for ya

Sandman, could you make it a dream?

Holy night, I won’t cry

I’ll still adore ya

[Verse 2]

My wrists are bound to this metal bed framе

I won’t make a sound

But they love mе so much better

When I’m no longer indebted to the ground

I’m on my knees, and they’re awful bloody

Beg for what I need

‘Cause I want the little sprinkle of his magic

Take me under, pull me deep

[Pre-Chorus]

Talked to the moon from my window

She’s so cold, doesn’t know

I think I might close my eyes for the last time tonight, I’ll go

Wish he would pay me a visit

I’ll listen to his trope

Long as he tells me it’s beautiful and dangerous

Oh, I know

[Chorus]

Sandman, could you put me to sleep?

Kill me kindly and quiet

I’m waiting for ya

Sandman, could you make it a dream?

Holy night, I won’t cry

I’ll still adore ya

[Outro]

Don’t be scared

Please take my hand

Don’t be scared

Please take my hand
