Sleep has never been a luxury
Not something that is promised only assumed
For, within the darkness demons awaken
The monsters of the past come to play hide-n-go-seek
Never seem to hide well enough
Stuck within the nightmare all night long
Rewinding and play it through for days to come
Appearing as if jaundice – sleep and food depravity does not enter the equation
Sleep has never been a luxury
Not something that is promised only assumed
For, within the darkness demons awaken
The monsters of the past come to play hide-n-go-seek
Never seem to hide well enough
Reduced to the 12-year-old girl once was…
Aching for that father figure
Only wanting to be wanted
Within the darkness lost between fact and fiction
Between…
What was and what is
Sleep has never been a luxury
Not something that is promised only assumed
For, within the darkness demons awaken
The monsters of the past come to play hide-n-go-seek
Never seem to hide well enough
Left trembling once awaken
Living in the present – however, living only in the past – the subconsciousness has the power
For, within the darkness demons awaken
The monsters of the past come to play hide-n-go-seek
Never seem to hide well enough |
