I Must Remain Awake Lyrics

When nightmares are real
And men try to be like god
Russian researchers
And the gas based stimulant

For thirty days
And thirty nights
Political prisoners
And the perils of sleep deprivation

After five days
Signs of severe paranoia
After nine days
One screamed and torn his vocal cords

Shredded flesh
Blood everywhere
Abdominal organs removed
Self-inflicted wounds

Eviscerated
But still alive
What they were digesting
Was their own flesh

I must remain awake
I need the gas again
I must remain awake
That's what they begged

We are you
We are the madness that lurks within you all
Begging to be free
At every moment in your deepest animal mind

We are what you are hiding from
In your beds every night
What you sedate into silence and paralysis
When you go to the nocturnal haven where
You cannot tread
