There are background vocals during the "Sleep, Sleepeater, Sleep" parts of the song which haven't been into the lyrics below. Unsure what they are exactly, but it sounds like "we all go through it, we all go through it, we all go through it alone"
Lyrics
Balanced on the edge of a knife Sleepeater slowly turning Break it down, set it alight He's here to start it burning Waiting for you in the bedroom Knows when you're alone at night Want to stay awake forever Hoping you can keep it tight Everything you ever valued Know that you will have to fight Want to stay awake forever And I will take you away from this emergency At the end of the day you're your own worst enemy Brothers take your sisters and hide We see the storm clouds coming The differences between you and I Have already Prepared and started running Waiting for you in the bedroom Knows when you're alone at night Want to stay awake forever Hoping you can keep it tight Everything you ever valued Know that you will have to fight Want to stay awake forever And I will take you away from this emergency At the end of the day you're your own worst enemy And it can take you to heaven, put you through hell (take you away) Just as long as you don't look down We can do it together, into my arms (end of the day) Know that nothing can hurt you now Sleep Sleepeater Sleep It can take you to heaven, put you through hell Just as long as you don't look down We can do it together, into my arms Know that nothing can hurt you now And I will take you away from this emergency At the end of the day you're your own worst enemy And it can take you to heaven, put you through hell Just as long as you don't look down We can do it together, into my arms Know that nothing can hurt you now
