Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Had a dream your father died
I couldn't scream, I couldn't cry
The second night, I dreamt you drowned
You couldn't fight, you were not found
[Verse 2]
These violent delights
Keep creeping into my nights
And they're reading my rites
And I'll never sleep alone again
And these violent delights
Keep bleeding into the light
And I'll never be right
But they'll never sleep alone again
When I'm gone
When I'm gone
[Verse 3]
A photograph will steal your soul
An epitaph won't make you whole
If I disappear, they'll say I killed myself
I never feared for my own health
[Verse 4]
And these violent delights
Keep creeping into my nights
And they're reading my rites
And I'll never sleep alone again
And these violent delights
Keep bleeding into the light
And I'll never be right
But they'll never sleep alone again
When I'm gone
When I'm gone
[Verse 5]
I don't want to see it
I don't want to see it
I don't want to sleep alone, no
I don't want to see it
I don't want to see it
Never sleep alone again, no
I don't want to see it
I don't want to see it
I don't want to sleep alone, no
I don't want to see it
I don't want to see it
Never sleep alone again when I'm gone
[Verse 6]
These violent delights
Keep creeping into my nights
And they're reading my rites
And I'll never sleep alone again
And these violent delights
Keep bleeding into the light
And I'll never be right
But they'll never sleep alone again
When I'm gone
When I'm gone
Alone again when I'm gone
When I'm gone
