Lying awake my stomach turning
My body so numb
So why does it hurt for me to think

Old visions of myself before burning
Away the memories
Is it even worth it for me to fall asleep

Caught staring watching ink dry
Just like my thoughts
But it still hurts for me to think

Random words expressed so blurry
Just like my thoughts
So why can’t I just fall asleep

Because every time I try to make peace
With myself I can’t help but shiver
At the thought of my childish expectations
And the light doesn’t help me see clearer

And every time I try to let go
I hold myself to these chains I made
To keep myself from a world of temptation
As the darkness draws my façade
