I awoke, only to find my lungs empty
Through the night, so it seems I'm not breathing
And now my dreams are nothing like they were meant to be
And I'm Breaking Down
I think I'm breaking down
And I'm afraid to sleep because of what haunts me
Such as living with the uncertainties
That I'll never find the words to say
Which would completely explain
Just how I'm breaking down
Someone come, Someone come and save my life
Maybe I'll sleep when I am dead
But now its like the night is taking up sides
With all the worries that occupy the back of my mind
Could it be? This misery will suffice
(Gordon Downey Singing This Verse)
I've become, the simple souvenir of someone's KILL
Like the sea, I'm constantly changing from calm to ill
Madness fills my heart and soul
As if the great divide could swallow me whole
Oh, how I'm breaking down
Someone come, Someone come and save my life
Maybe I'll sleep when I am dead
But now its like the night is taking up sides
With all the worries that occupy the back of my mind
Could it be? This misery will suffice
Someone come, Someone come and save my life
Someone come, Someone come and save my life
Someone come, Someone come and save my life
Could it be? This misery will suffice

Review about The Sleeping Sickness for me.. | Reviewer: Anonymous | 11/12/09
i can't begin to describe how this song hits me...i went through a separation with the mother of my son, my brother almost died in an accident, and my father was diagnosed with cancer. I feel alone and Dallas put my feelings in song. My misery will suffice...
Love! | Reviewer: Haunted | 8/16/09
So beautiful...
It's odd how a few words can do this sort of thing to a person, just make you feel like you're not the only one out there going through it. I've been at war with depression for as long as I can remember and hurt myself more times than I can count, and this is like he got into my mind and wrote about how I feel. I can't even listen to this without crying because it's so emotional for me.
DAD! | Reviewer: Anonymous | 8/19/09
My dads friend passed away not to long ago he had suffered from cancer and while he wasted his days away in that hospital bed he heard this song on the radio and fell in love with ... this song was the song he had played at his funeral and now is a big part of our lives!
sigh | Reviewer: Anonymous | 7/25/09
My partner, my true love, recently told me he wasn't happy in our relationship, and wanted to think about things for a while. At the moment we're in some sort of sh***y middle ground. I'm very unhappy, but don't want to lose him. so, 'could it be, this misery will suffice?' sums up my life right now.
Great.
poetic perfection | Reviewer: leaky eyes | 7/9/09
i can just see them doing this live and the whole venue being in tears midsong. I am a fan of alot of acoustic stuff, but this really stands out. Imo, music should have Lyrics at the forefront of importance. This song sticks with me not because of the great production value or the crisp vocals from 2 great singers. Pure and simple its the lyrics. I actually disliked the music, especially the chorus when I first heard this song, but the lyrics stuck with me so much that i bought it on itunes. After a few more plays, Im enjoying it in all aspects.
I can totally relate to this song ... right before i was due to come home on leave from the army , my father passed away from complications from leukemia ... the lyrics describe my daily thoughts and feelings and how this situation has affected me ...great song dallas , and thank you!
meaning | Reviewer: rosanna | 3/9/09
i love this song. god, dallas green's voice just makes me fall in love and his lyrics just break my heart.
this song so describes what im going through.
i cant sleep cos im worrying and stressing about stuff. im all hopeless and lost and deserted and think im fine one minute but then im breaking down the next. and like all i want is for someone to come and save my life.
i dont know if thats what he was talking about when he wrote it, but ultimately i dont think it matters. music is subjective, its about what it means to you. i like to think someone else knows what im going through (:
Interview | Reviewer: Anonymous | 3/3/09
He explains on an interview on YouTube that the song is about how he is the biggest worrier on the planet, and that little things keep him up at night and snowball into larger problems. Wouldn't really expect such problems from a man as successful as Dallas but there you go - we're all human.
an understanding. | Reviewer: broken girl | 2/10/09
i heard this song and i started absolutly crying. i have night terrors and this just describes everyhting.
"And I'm afraid to sleep because of what haunts me
Such as living with the uncertainties
That I'll never find the words to say
Which would completely explain
just how i'm breaking down"
its everything that describes it. wow.
amazing song | Reviewer: Anonymous | 1/11/09
I think it is about someone's midlife crisis. They have been through a really tough experience, they don't know their place in the world, they are suffering depression, they are afraid of growing older and dying. That is just my interpretation.
Amazing song, great vocals, beautiful lyrics :)
