[Verse 1]
Hush... Please don't wake the dreamer in me
This slumber feeds my sanity
This nightmare soothes my soul
It tears me apart... yet keeps me whole

[Pre-Chorus]
When the mystery comes crashing down
I'm alone in the dark...
Screaming without a sound

[Chorus]
There's a splinter in my soul
Coaxing out the beast in me
This selfishness I couldn't see
Wasting away... my spirit burrows deeper
To hide from the sorrow
And what tomorrow may bring

[Verse 2]
I'm in such misery
Isn't everyone lonely like me?
Just let me sleep for eternity

[Guitar Solo]
[Chorus]
There's a splinter in my soul
Coaxing out the beast in me
This selfishness I couldn't see
Wasting away... my spirit burrows deeper
To hide from the sorrow
And what tomorrow may bring

[Guitar Solo]

[Chorus]
There's a splinter in my soul
Coaxing out the beast in me
This selfishness I couldn't see
Wasting away... my spirit burrows deeper
To hide from the sorrow
And what tomorrow may bring
