haunted by design

lately i've been losing sleep

haunted by design

i'm my own worst enemy

when i try to close my eyes

voices in my weary head

they never let me be

turning every fear and dread

from a whisper to a scream

i keep searching

i can't find

any kind of respite from the noise inside

the clock is laughing

don't ask me why

in the halls of my mind

i'm still haunted by design

haunted by design

restless scenes and fever dreams

they're never giving way

when i should be counting sheep

i'm counting my last days

soon the morning sun will rise

to overtake the moon

like the ghost of death arrived

and took my love too soon

i keep searching

i can't find

any kind of respite from the noise inside

the clock is laughing

don't ask me why

in the halls of my mind

i'm still haunted by design

haunted by design

those who worry suffer twice

this i must concede

i think it's time to close my eyes

slumber

rescue me

i keep searching

i can't find

any kind of respite from the noise inside

the clock is laughing

don't ask me why

in the halls of my mind

i'm still haunted by design

haunted by design

i'm haunted by design
