4 am, I'm still awake
Before the dawn
The Sandman will come
With nightmares
I won't let him in
There's nothing in head
Empty walls, empty bed
I am just waiting
Restless beats of heart
And breathing break the silence
I am still here
The absence of light
Narrows my eyesight
But still I see them
It's not angels that sing
And call me by my true name
They have forsaken me
Dead, tired, but aware
Sleep invites the demons,
I am not prepared
I have to stay awake
There are monsters in my head
On my walls, under my bed
I am dying
I am jaded, I am numb,
I am counting on the sun
Salvation to come
The absence of light
Narrows my eyesight
But still I see them
It's not angels that sing
And call me by my true name
Why had you forsaken me?
Why had you forsaken me?
