A long sigh
Exhaustion wins
My eyes betray me once again
Restless sleep takes me
Where darkness is and fear lives
a confusing place where I'm alone
Frightened by monsters
Who aren't real yet seem familiar
Regrets and fear bring them out
Makes them comfortable
To not be seen and just be heard
Characters in familiar costumes
and well rehearsed scripts
Who Enter the scene
familiar costumes
And rehearsed scripts
Well played lines
Who look like people I
I might have known
Once upon a time
My eyes betray me once again
Restless sleep takes me
Where darkness is and fear lives
a confusing place where I'm alone
Frightened by monsters
Who aren't real yet seem familiar
Regrets and fear bring them out
Makes them comfortable
To not be seen and just be heard
Characters in familiar costumes
and well rehearsed scripts
Who Enter the scene
familiar costumes
And rehearsed scripts
Well played lines
Who look like people I
I might have known
Once upon a time
When I was young
Or at least before
my eyes betrayed me
Or at least before
my eyes betrayed me
I believe I heard
a faint whisper
"goodnight"
As my eyes shut tight
To keep out the light
a faint whisper
"goodnight"
As my eyes shut tight
To keep out the light
I visit you
Or is it you
Who comes to me?
When dreams become real
