A Plot for Sleepless Nights

The signs, they tried to warn me

Of the path that I had taken

Second glances, so mistaken

But I don’t think I’m that important

Clenched so tightly, it’s a night of regret

The very air I breathe constricts my lungs

And holds me in these thoughts of

Who I am and what I should have done

I wish it’d never gone so far

That I could never forget who you are

Seal those lips and close your eyes

There’s no charm in telling lies

You would have me assume truth

But I don’t think I’m that important

And if I could find the love

I’d supply you with the drug

That would cure you of your sickness

But I don’t think I’m that important

Teasing with words, inaudibly

Memories insist on whispering

From the melancholy corners of my mind

They speak the answers I could never find

Stop, stop don’t speak to me

I’m bound with guilt and jealousy

You’ll never really know what you’re getting into

Until you’re staring up from six feet underground

I wish it’d never gone so far

That I could never forget who you are

Seal those lips and close your eyes

There’s no charm in telling lies

You would have me assume truth

But I don’t think I’m that important

And if I could find the love

I’d supply you with the drug

That would cure you of your sickness

But I don’t think I’m that important

I wish it’d never gone so far

That I could never forget who you are
