Asleep
by Ceremony· from Violence Violence
I've given up too many nights
In hopes to hide away with sleep,
Running from my enemy,
but still she drags me by the feet.
There's days when I can't find the time or
even care to open my eyes.
I drill the clock into the wall
pass hours until I'm wrinkled thin.
Nightmares seem to follow me,
It's getting hard to remember my dreams.
If I stay awake tonight
I'll gain much more than growing old,
Now each eyelid shut -
I'm giving in
but never giving up.
Wake
up.
