She comes to me at night when I'm sleeping
She comes to me when I'm alone
She comes to me
She holds my head when I'm crying
She comes to me
She shuts my eyes
She brings me home

But I'm not sleeping anymore

She tells me when you look at me
She tells me when you're lying
She tells me when you talk about me
She lays me on the floor
She tells me when you're whispering
She lies beside me naked
She tells me when you laugh at me and she locks all the doors

But I'm not sleeping anymore

1-2-3-4-5-6-7 a.m.
All alone again
But I've been through all this shit before
Spend my night in self-defense
Cry about my innocence
But I ain't all that innocent anymore

I see her on the TV
I see her in the movies
I see her in these animals that dance beside my bed
I'll follow you down baby
Down into this valley
I'll follow you down baby
But I won't come up again

But I'm not sleeping anymore

I say, rain, rain, go away!
Come again some other day
'Cause I got all that shit to say
But I'll come back to find my way
My sister's mother's favorite son
Lost among the chosen ones
But I got notes for everyone
'Cause I'm gone out that door!
