They ask me why I sleep the day away
And I could explain, but would they understand what I say..?
I sleep so I don’t have to look at all these people going places
They all have this look, like they matter, on their faces
And I’m caged in, too scared to walk out the door at times
Feeling like my life doesn’t measure up to other people’s lives
She’s queen at night, loser by day
Asking herself why she acts this way
If anyone knows..
None will tell
And she doesn’t know how to lift this spell
She always feels like there’s someone she betrays
Wasting away her life, her potential
Yet she’s stuck in her ways
I’m up at night, because everyone else is asleep
I’m losing track of the days of the week
It doesn’t matter, no one misses me when they are awake
Somehow I handle it at night
In the harsh daylight it’s more than I can take
I sleep at day because that’s what it takes to keep the monsters at bay
If I sleep at night, they get to me in my dreams somehow and I’m scared of what they say
They tell me things that rings too true
My every move is wrong, what I say, what I feel, what I do
And when they wring their pointy fingers like daggers around my throat
They won’t let go, until I wake up, blue.
She’s queen at night, loser by day
Asking herself why she acts this way
If anyone knows..
They will not say
She always feels like there’s someone she betrays
Wasting away her life, her potential
Yet she’s stuck in her ways
Please don’t ask me why
I know you will not understand what I say
And you would only tell me
I’m wasting my life away..
Yeah, I’m wasting life away
Queen by night, loser by day
I’m wasting, wasting all my life away
Queen by night, loser by day
Wasting, wasting wasting..
The life I cannot live
I’m wasting it away..
Wasting it away
