Bleed - Gary Numan

Someone is talking

But it’s not conversation

Sounds more like a voice in my head

It says

'I live in nightmares

I’m the new god of panic

And I’m waiting for you to come home to me

'So boy, welcome to sleep

I’m gonna make you, make you, make you bleed.'

I could be dreaming

But then maybe that’s fatal

There’s nowhere to hide in your dreams

I’m so uneasy

I’m shaking and nervous

I’m alone in my room and I’m scared of it

So, don’t let me sleep

It’s gonna make me, make me, make me bleed

My mother told me

'Don't believe in ghost stories

There’s nothing to hurt you in here.'

But she was wrong

And now it’s come back to haunt me

It says it won’t leave me alive for long

I don’t want to sleep

It’s gonna make me, make me, make me bleed
