Sleep is a luxury, I avoid it so well
Without a break, I'm nothing but a shell
I need a break from the screams in my head
Anything to get away from the lies I was fed
Will anyone care to see the girl who stayed up past twelve?
No, that's is a matter of which they don't want to delve
My memories haunt me at night
My only wish is that I'd just give up the fight
Simple lines bring back simple times
A simple enough task to make these words rhyme
Simple as they may be, they speak freely for me
Under the cover of night my mind is free
Sleep scares me, and so does my mind
Because when I try rest I feel so blind
Say what you want, believe what you might
But I'm not going to be there to say I was right
Its gotten late two hours ago, my eyes hurt
But its better than reminiscing painful conversations, short and curt
My mouth is bitten raw, blood flows like water
So this is what has become of your sweet daughter
Watch me wither away, I refuse to rest
No matter how many say its for the best
Look closely, and then you'll see
The self love that I had is deeply asleep
I'm still awake, expect the worst
I'm beggining to thing I'm cursed
The clock on the wall is ticking away
Its becoming harder to pretend I'm okay
