I lay awake at night, staring into the dark
I rest my eyes yet still cannot rest my heart
The thumping reaches my ears and my anxiety reigns
I check the watch and see I’ve stayed up again

If I sleep I dream of dread
But what I feel is all in my head
I sweat from the rush adrenaline
My veins littered with epinephrine

I pray to the heavenly bodies, the gods above
To end the nightmares I’ve been dreaming of
Not all dreams were meant to be chased
Some meant to be buried, burned and never faced.

I run to worlds and planets to seek asylum
Going insane from the pain until i finally turn numb
In Mars I felt the greatest joy
In Jupiter I fell and I, myself almost destroyed

The rings of Saturn turned out to be my solace
I skip Uranus to swim in the oceans of Neptune
And in all the planets I’ve been to
When I close my eyes, i dream of nightmares, i dream of you.
