Everyone always says that they'd rather be dreaming than be awake and face their life they are living,
I'd rather never fall back asleep for the fear that I'll see your face in the nightmares you are giving.
I always end up waking up in a cold sweat and pounding heart, head in my knees, shaking from the cold air you left behind,
The feel of your skin sends shivers down my spine, keeping me awake for the rest of the night, the cold brown eyes have left me blind.
If I try to sleep, will I wake up again in a jolt, or will you take me with you and never let me see the world for what it is again,
Will you hold me in the unconscious state, to relive every memory, every word and every lie, make me live in the world that you've covered in sin.
I look away but I am forced to see that you will never leave me alone, whether we are together or apart,
You will be in the back of my mind, influencing every decision, every word until the final beat of my heart.
