Sleep, I've forgotten what that feels like. Counting the minutes to each new sunrise Whilst watching the days get shorter Medicating the pain into the background Eyes open, each movement screams awake A thousand needles move under the skin Weaving this tapestry of flesh and bone An endless picture of what I've become Shaking under the strain, the cracks appear Small, too small to notice darkness creeping Eroding the wall that holds back the dog Waiting to charge, waiting to bite Weeks pass as moments when the pain fades But like an unwanted guest, refuses to leave Reminding me that this is not over Invading my dreams and crushing my will

Pain
Sleep, I've forgotten what that feels like. Counting the minutes to each new sunrise Whilst watching the days get shorter Medicating the pain into the background Eyes open, each movement screams awake A thousand needles move under the skin Weaving this tapestry of flesh and bone An endless picture of what I've become Shaking under the strain, the cracks appear Small, too small to notice darkness creeping Eroding the wall that holds back the dog Waiting to charge, waiting to bite Weeks pass as moments when the pain fades But like an unwanted guest, refuses to leave Reminding me that this is not over Invading my dreams and crushing my will
