[Lyric] Dirge for Jamis (Bern and the Bastards)

I don't wanna be a sleeper lost inside a dream
I don't wanna be a puppet, dancing on a string
I don't wanna be a victim of folly all my own
I don't wanna rot in slumber while the nightmares grow

I wanna wake up but I don't know how
I fight with dreams and shadows, I wanna wake up now
Before my life is over, before it slips away
I wanna wake up, don't wanna sleep another day

I don't wanna close my eyes, no I don't even wanna blink
I don't wanna close my mind but I don't know what to think
Fear is the killer, it's torturing my brain
It's coming to devour me with grief and doubt and shame
I must let it pass on through me, I must let it leave my thoughts
I must focus on the path or I know that I'll be lost
For somеthing sleeps inside me, yes it tossеs and it shakes
The fever dreams are rising, the sleeper must awake

I wanna wake up but I don't know how
I fight with ghosts and nightmares, I wanna wake up now
Before my life is over, before it slips away
I wanna wake up, don't wanna sleep another day
