You're afraid of everything that held them back 
its what they thought 
it kept them awake 
it hurt as they shut they're lids
 they listened to the chatter the fear the pain the regret the lonely 
the way to sleep is to forget 
 the pit in your stomach
 you are the only one who hears
 the screaming
 in your head at night. Do something or lay restless.

At Night
You're afraid of everything that held them back 
its what they thought 
it kept them awake 
it hurt as they shut they're lids
 they listened to the chatter the fear the pain the regret the lonely 
the way to sleep is to forget 
 the pit in your stomach
 you are the only one who hears
 the screaming
 in your head at night. Do something or lay restless.
