I know better than to fall asleep
Deep sweet sleep
Ceremoniously swept away onto a red carpet behind my eyes

Why is the carpet red
Why can't I see
Nothing but red trails and dark black emptiness staring at me
Where am I
How did I get here

I follow the trail faithfully never knowing where now it will lead
A sweet dream
Long lost lullaby
Maybe I won't see anything until sunrise

Oh what a fool
How could my mind ever be so sweet
No
I follow blood
Dragging along behind my eyes
Because I couldn't meet my sleepless demise
Now I am stuck inside
Following the bloodlines
To my nightmares
Waiting for me to arrive
