can't sleep i'm overcome by monsters, dark and vicious, ready for a feast            i can see them coming after me if i close my eyes for too long they're strong, sadistic, twisted clawing towards me            among them are shadows with claws, open jaws some are people though, eyes full of anger and hunger       smiles large and disturbing                       i see my father, i see the boogeyman i hid from as a child i see                                                                     Nothing it always stops right before they reach me                shaking, afraid, tired                          Oh so very tired i've wrapped myself so tightly in blankets to stop the shaking but it does nothing                i've resorted to sleeping with a light, trying with all my might to ignore the shadows they dance and turn, howl and cackle, gaze and smile, beckon me to join them                       i am scared                                                                              i am lost                                                                                       i am alone why can't i find home, i know the address          know what it looks like but my maps don't lead me there No                it leads me through a hell unknown tell me when does it end?            because i'm tired of this game and just want some comfort before i can no longer breathe

can't sleep i'm overcome by monsters, dark and vicious, ready for a feast            i can see them coming after me if i close my eyes for too long they're strong, sadistic, twisted clawing towards me            among them are shadows with claws, open jaws some are people though, eyes full of anger and hunger       smiles large and disturbing                       i see my father, i see the boogeyman i hid from as a child i see                                                                     Nothing it always stops right before they reach me                shaking, afraid, tired                          Oh so very tired i've wrapped myself so tightly in blankets to stop the shaking but it does nothing                i've resorted to sleeping with a light, trying with all my might to ignore the shadows they dance and turn, howl and cackle, gaze and smile, beckon me to join them                       i am scared                                                                              i am lost                                                                                       i am alone why can't i find home, i know the address          know what it looks like but my maps don't lead me there No                it leads me through a hell unknown tell me when does it end?            because i'm tired of this game and just want some comfort before i can no longer breathe
