Memphis May Fire - Sleepless Nights

I stare deep down into the eyes of my nightmares
As they come to life
I feel my heart beat right out of my chest
And I think I might be losing the fight
I might be losing it
I live inside my poisoned mind
It leaves me paralyzed
It leaves me paralyzed
My vision's blurred
My words are slurred
I think I might die tonight
This shadow follows me
It always keeps me on the edge
I know that I would never jump
So why can't I step back from the ledge?
Am I losing control?
You take me to the darkest places
I have ever been
I think I feel it coming back again
Why am I terrified of everything I used to love?
Save me from myself
I don't want to hate who I've become
Inhale exhale
Why is it so hard to breathe?
Inhale exhale
Why isn't this working?
If I live to see the other side of this
I swear I'll never take for granted any happiness
I never knew what I had until it was gone
How long will this go on?
Why am I terrified of everything I used to love?
Save me from myself
I don't want to hate who I've become
Tell me that tomorrow when I wake up I'll be fine
I just want to be myself again
I want to know that I'm alive
Tell me is there something that I'm learning from this?
I try my best to make the most of it
Maybe I just need to see the bigger picture
Show me how it ends
If I have to feel this forever
I'd rather feel nothing at all
Bring me back to life
I just can't take another sleepless night
Bring me back to life
Give me the clarity to see the light
I know that you can take this away
So I'm praying that today is the day
Oh I pray that today is the day
Bring me back to life
Why am I terrified or everything I used to love?
Save me from myself
I don't want to hate who I've become
Tell me that tomorrow when I wake up I'll be fine
I just want to be myself again
I want to know that I'm alive
Please
Give me peace
Give me joy
Give me sanity
Give me hope
Give me love
Give me truth

"If it aint broke, don't fix it" 

-I'm addressing those who are complaining about The Hollow, Challenger, and Unconditional having similar sounds.

If they change sounds people will complain.
If they stay the same, people will complain.
It's a lose-lose situation for every band. 

Appreciate the music for what it is, thanks. d

This song helped me through the toughest time of my life. I was around 16 years old and was going through horrible alcoholic parental abuse for about 4 years prior and then until I was 18 years old and moved out 10 days after my birthday. I am now an adult and realizing that I related to this song so well because I have c-PTSD. To me, this song really describes what anxiety and c-PTSD feels like for me, especially in those moments as the abuse was going on. Thank you for being there for me in my darkest moments, MMF. You saved a horribly depressed teen.

If I live to see the other side of this,
I swear I'll never take for granted any happiness.

"Why am I terrified of everything i used to love?" The best part of the song, and the essence of the lyrics.

[SearchingLostSouls]

Literally at the part "Inhale. Exhale." I couldn't breathe for those mere seconds. My lungs felt as if they froze up.

[Tristanjl]

I live with Bipolar Disorder (manic depression) and Panic Attacks. The lyrics in this song is what I go through frequently. I can relate and I love the breakdowns in the song. Whoever else goes through this you are not alone and I pray for you.

[sgtskysyndrome]

This band and Bury Tomorrow are gonna have two of the greatest releases in this genre this year.

[LordXenophontis]

This is one of the heaviest songs I've heard from MMF. I'm loving every second of it.

[JonesParkur]

After i saw the interview with Matty about his thoughts with this album, I can only get chills all over my body listening to this song!

[forerunner]

Matty's writing is always so completely honest, this lyricly hit me hard....wow.

[quentrypop]

Holy god, these guys are bringing it this year. I was sceptic so with No Ordinary Love but this just brings it home until the album is out. It's obvious they have almost the same structure of instrumentals of Challenger but that's why we all loved Challenger. They don't need to change themselves on every album..I love this and cannot wait for march 26.

[Josiah_Cornett]

This might be my favorite on the entire album!

[BeastGamer]

Matty has always been a lyrical god. I love his lyrics. They all have so much meaning. His lyrical skill is almost unmatched.

[ItsAmplified]

I will always love this band, every single song they have come out with I love <3

[exxtella]

I hate when people say "oh they haven't changed" but then if Memphis May fire WAS to change then people would say "why did they change??" Like bands never fricken win.. There's no satisfying people now a days.. I think this song is sick.

[Fiftytwozeros]

I have depression and suicidal thoughts, my friend "Vinny" killed himself (I'm in 8th grade...this was beginning of last year) and whoever can relate to me...I'm here for you, you're not alone

[matthewstyles]

If you are reading this, kniw it DOES get better.
I used to listen to this daily, even hourly, just to keep reminding myself I wasn't the only person feeling this way as somebody couldn't put every second of my life inti a song having never met me.
I lay in bed tonight, after a LONG process and a LOT of hard work, but listening to this masterpiece to remind myself if how far I have come. And I just wanted to share that it truly does get better, but also to thank this song and artist for the help you gave me when I needed it more than words can ever describe.
But anyone reading this, just keep trying, after countless years of hell I now am here as living proof, promising you that in the end it DOES get better, and until then I am here for you, as is more people than you know <3
Together we will all get there in the end.

People ask me how I can understand the vocals.

I ask them how they can't understand the vocals.

[michellecruz]

This whole album has been on my mind lately.

[josiannemenard]

I like how everyone's complaining at first, but still listen to it after.
I actually find this song perfect:)
