Darkening, the dead of night A distant shine of city lights These barren halls echo empty Sleep fails to come to my avail
Reanimate these tiring movements An aimless masquerade Limbs react reluctantly
Repeating events Worn down roads Familiar faces flock the pathways An infernal design Beneath the surface lingers An idle sense of desperation
Procrastinations emerge Days mold into one Becomes a way of life Machine like motions that fill the day
Sleep, a woeful concept As nightmares plague the hours Stare upon a ticking clock, a gloomy window The silence of a sleeping world Tomorrow's turmoil infecting the night A perpetual state of panic
These nighttime revelations Abandoned dreams that haunt my sleep Ever present consternation Thoughts of past and future dread
These nighttime revelations Abandoned dreams that haunt my sleep Ever-present consternation Avid companion of night
Vacant eyes in clouded hibernation Collision course with a vibrant world Vexatious storms beyond the daily pace The affliction of the outcast
Pervasive nothingness Erupting, eroding I wield and I havoc I stab and I scream
As daylight arrives A continuing search For the ineffable Concept of escape
