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!
