it’s three minutes til midnight

and i can’t sleep –

you woke me up an eternity ago

screaming inside my head

and i can hear you still.

-

it’s two minutes til midnight

and i can’t sleep –

i wish i was there to hold you

breathe into you serenity

and take away your pain.

-

it’s a minute til midnight

and i can’t sleep –

the darkness of the Nightmares

is haunting me, hurting me

and i can hear you still.

-

it’s midnight

and i can’t sleep –

you woke me up an eternity ago

screaming inside of my head

and i still can’t sleep.
