now i lay me down to sleep i pray you take these tears i weep oh these shadows that grow and stalk tracing lines out of souls and talk
oh rest you have long been gone everything is right and wrong such is this that i would lay upon these words where i have no say
that you would want me as i am nothing else, what a foolish man step away, i beg of you to run leave me before the rising of the sun
she is a fool, and you want her still but she is not able to bend her will tell her such and she will deny all but say her name and will answer the call
let her be, though never alone the one star in the sky that still shone when all among the dark of the abyss calls to her like a final wish
catch her hand as she is on the edge a wanderer just to find such a ledge the wind pushing just to pull her down put your heart into the earth and ground
let its roots grow to a tree so that such a fool could see you are love, and this is life filled with bits of grace and strife
she says but a few things, just a word though whispered they are still heard you want me, i need you to need me the way a heart needs to be free
