Stay

There’s a certain look that lies
Behind your sunken eyes, I know
How shadows fall across your face

You breathed and gave them life
Didn’t you wonder how they know
All your nightmares and your memories?

Wouldn’t it be grand to never face the morning Sun?
Don’t you long to rest your weary head for good?
By the light of the crescent Moon
I’ll pray your soul will keep
So close your eyes, close your eyes

When the Sun slips down to dusk
Beneath the horizon where you’ll be
All but enveloped by your sins

Watch your body turn to dust
Tossed to the wind and scattered by
All your nightmares and your memories

Darling, I’ve got you now, don’t you cry
The pain only lingers if you fight
Hush now, my dear, you’ve nothing to fear
It’s only the end come to take you to sleep
