The hungry beast.
She left me alone
For a couple of weeks;
She had left me in liberty
She has now set herself free
She's the invisible spider
Crawling all over my body.
She's the magical monster
Climbing inside of me.
I dread the nights,
I put up a fight;
Insomnia likes to cheat
She promises an hour
That hour becomes *eight
The sun leaves me blinded
I'm not ready for today...
Tonight
I've been denied my right
To a peaceful, wonderful sleep.
