My heart longed for sleep In a hope of being rescued from the loud stillness of night Sleep didn't come for me As i drowned in the ocean of my thoughts My mind battled my heart to keep it alive As darkness swallowed me alive, My search for the sun intensified. The demons I created Began clawing at my heart. As blood flowed through my eyes, I realized there was no light to run toward— Only empty stillness.

Drowning Before Dawn
My heart longed for sleep In a hope of being rescued from the loud stillness of night Sleep didn't come for me As i drowned in the ocean of my thoughts My mind battled my heart to keep it alive As darkness swallowed me alive, My search for the sun intensified. The demons I created Began clawing at my heart. As blood flowed through my eyes, I realized there was no light to run toward— Only empty stillness.
