The poem describes the speaker's struggle with narcolepsy. They feel a demon in their brain overwhelming them and pulling them into nightmares even when they try to stay awake by reading, writing, drinking, or being in crowded places. Their greatest fear is falling asleep and not being able to wake up from the nightmares that plague their sleep.

And theres a demon in my brain Who starts to overwhelm whelm whelm whelm whelm And there it goes, my last chance for peace You lay me down, but I get no release And I say i, I try to keep awake I try to swim beneath I try to keep awake But i, I can feel this narcolepsy slide Into another nightmare And theres a demon in my head who starts to play A nightmare tape loop of what went wrong yesterday And I hold my breath till its more than I can take And I close my eyes and dream that Im awake I try to keep awake I try to keep awake I try to keep awake But i, I can feel this narcolepsy slide Into another nightmare I read dead russian authors volumes at a time I write everything down except whats on my mind Cause my greatest fear is that sucking sound And then I know that Ill never get back out And theres a bone in my hand that connects to a drink In a crowded room where the glasses clink And Ill buy you a beer and well drink it deep Because that keeps me from falling asleep I said Howd you like to be alone and drowning Howd you like to be alone and drowning Howd you like to be alone and drowning Howd you like to be alone and drowning Still I find this narcolepsy slide slide Into another nightmare Keep awake, keep awake, keep awake And I can feel this narcolepsy slide
