Sleep is a state to get away
to forget about the fears of the outside day
to run away from the future
to escape the reality called the present

Oh sleep, sleep, glorious sleep
but it's not as easy as you think
Lay and stare at the ceiling so white
"I can't fall asleep tonight"

Why must this happen?
Why, oh why?
All I want to do is escape the night
The dread runs through me, draining my strength

The alarm clock goes off
the sun blinds my eyes
I had just slept through the whole entire night
The dread comes back, the fears run wild
This is just the start, of one vicious cycle

— The End —
