Dear me, Why can't you sleep? Does the darkness trouble thee? As your mind chases grief Do you struggle just to breathe? Dear me, You must go to sleep Life won't stop for you to weep Dry your tears gracefully And smile for the whole world to see Dear Me, Are you asleep? Did you fall to your knees in agony? Hide the nightmares that you keep Tomorrow will come peacefully Dear Me, You must stay asleep Quiet the chaos and stifle the screams Silence the demons That invade your dreams Dear me, You must not sleep Or life may pass too quickly. Rouse from your clouded lucidity And awaken now... It was only a dream Dear Me, Don't fall asleep

Dear me, Why can't you sleep? Does the darkness trouble thee? As your mind chases grief Do you struggle just to breathe? Dear me, You must go to sleep Life won't stop for you to weep Dry your tears gracefully And smile for the whole world to see Dear Me, Are you asleep? Did you fall to your knees in agony? Hide the nightmares that you keep Tomorrow will come peacefully Dear Me, You must stay asleep Quiet the chaos and stifle the screams Silence the demons That invade your dreams Dear me, You must not sleep Or life may pass too quickly. Rouse from your clouded lucidity And awaken now... It was only a dream Dear Me, Don't fall asleep
