To sleep
To dream no more
Forget the day
Drift from this shore
Nothing to hear
No tears to shed
Just a place to lie
An aching head
Pillow soft
Hard as stone
Nothing's the same
When you're alone
Dreams will prey
This silent night
Eyes are open
Wide with fright
A noise you heard
Under the bed
It must all be
In your head
So slip away
You did your best
Now fall asleep
Like all the rest
Bury the light
Stifle the scream
Forgive the past
No more to dream
