I strain my eyes wide open while your deep in sleep
I stay awake for your nightmare I will keep

Pulling a world of pain away from you is my intent
I have to serve my time to keep you content

As you live on and I get stronger day by day.
Your selfish and petty battles I will risk my life away.

Whatever my body can take and whatever I can prevent.
I always lift my head and the negative thoughts I pent.

Never ask why try not to make sense of your demand  
I only accept your words and do as I’m command

Never be a night never day will your body hit the ground
For this promise I am still bound

I use metaphors and action to explain what I am in the light
Until time is done with us and death swing his blade, only I can do you right
