sleep

March 10th, 2004 · 1 Comment

you left me again
with your infidelity
can’t comprehend
why won’t you stay with me

no way to find comfort
this time tortures long
an iron maiden made
from flannel and down

I can’t last long alone
I’m dreading sunrise
I’ll come undone
I’ll let go my mind

they’ll find me
stumbling through streets
calling your name
searching for Sleep
they’ll lock me up
wish I could chain you down

I’ll carry your rejection
a weight around my mind
dragging through the day
pulling on my eyes

you make me mad
insomnia is insane
when darkness comes
will you come to me again
