Even for all the tears I do not cry,
It doesn't mean I'm not grieving
I was aiming for the stars but
I got shot down and fell back to Earth
Get ur head out of the clouds
I could have made it right
The nightingales sing
To awaken dawn
And the girl in the mirror shows no mercy
Was I always like this
Take my heart and lay me to rest
Free me from the chains that hold my mind
They broken, fragile hands blind me by there beauty
But the harsh cold darkness pulls me over
Sleep now, i'll stay awake
In hopes to wake from this bad dream
I thought only of myself
And my heart was torn in 2
And now i hang by a thread
The stars shine so brightly tonight
I hope u can hear me right now
Frozen tears leave icy streaks down my cheeks
The blizzard tears at my thoughts
The eternal drink is now a poison
The ghouls claw down my throat
But sleep now, i'll stay awake
And hear the ravens sing
Once I touched a rose,
It left trails of blood
I bring it to my lips
And ask for forgiveness
Life is a cliff and i'm on the edge
One more step and i fall
Finding the light that shattered my heart
The missing piece
I'm not the answer
Who is?
Sleep now and i’ll stay awake.

All this time
Yet i can't see the truth
I crack the ice
Screaming till my lungs burst
All these nights i sleep alone
Wondering why i am here
Was i put on this Earth by the heavens above
To survive trauma and play for their
Own sick amusement
Am i a toy
Just to entertain
Who am i
I ponder
Yet to no avail
Sleep now and don't trip the wire
To fall into an empty trap
That was once my heart

Don't wake the demons in the corners
Hide your soul

Play the cord of death and it plays a new song

Sleep now and forever stay silent
For silence is the language of the unworthy.
