The air grows heavy, a whispered plea
In shadows where my soul finds thee

In the quiet of the night, I trace your fading light
A fractured mirror showing what we've lost
Each breath a question, a silent, burning cost
Trapped in this devotion, forever bound to fight

And the tide pulls me under, to depths I can't define
A sacred hunger, a love that isn't mine

Oh, sleep, you haunt my waking hours
A fragile bloom, consumed by thorny powers
I worship at your altar, broken and undone
Beneath the gaze of a shadowed Sun

The labyrinthine bed, where secrets softly lie
A thread of madness, beneath a weeping sky
You thread the needle, time and time again
Binding my spirit, through joy and through pain

And the tide pulls me deeper, to truths I can't deny
A desperate hunger, beneath a hollow sky

Oh, sleep, you haunt my waking hours
A fragile bloom, consumed by thorny powers
I worship at your altar, broken and undone
Beneath the gaze of a shadowed Sun

Bury me! Inside this labyrinthine bed!
A primal scream, echoing in my head!
Will you show me what it's like?
Time dilates, a fractured dream
A silent river, a forgotten stream

Oh, sleep! You haunt my waking hours!
A fragile bloom, consumed by thorny powers!
I worship at your altar, broken and undone
Beneath the gaze of a shadowed Sun!
