They say I'm good Yet none can feel the war beneath my skin Everyone swears I'm fine But they don't see what's tearing me apart I only want to sleep Just let me drift away Just let the darkness quiet down my heart My thoughts bloom into horrors Shadows dancing where light once lived I reach for silence– But the demons breathe And tear the calm from my ribs I just want the quiet But they rise and scream in waves They twist inside my mind These broken voices I can't escape I just want to sleep I just want to sleep Tonight they conquer me again Curling, clawing, twisting– They shake the walls of my sanity Their whispers turn to poison Their echoes dig into my bones I'm afraid of staining my hands Afraid of falling into their temptations Afraid of losing who I am To the darkness begging for salvation They Scream They Shiver They Circle in my head Like a thousand fallen wings All I want is silence All I want is rest To tear the voices from my mind And let the night save me at last I just want to sleep I just want to sleep
