Awake

Searching for sleep made me only find
Loneliness besides the abyss in my mind
Brightly awake I appear to be
Recaptured by my childish fears

I would go for a walk if I wasn't this tired
I would love to stay but I can't
Staring into the dark won't brighten up my thoughts
The most fainting glimmer I see is blinding my eyes
I wish I could turn my head off
Just for one night

Let us choose the longest way home
So we can wander the streets
Don't leave me alone with my thoughts
Not in these walls

Darkness brings silence, it makes us look into our soul
And I don't want to see it
Not at day, not at night, not at all
'Cause darkness will bring silence
Silence makes us look into our soul

Though I am honestly grateful for your sympathy
But I'm still searching for sleep
And you will always find me staring into the dark
Trying to turn my head off

Let us choose the longest way home
So we can wander the streets
Don't leave me alone with my thoughts
Not in these walls
Don't leave me alone cause I can't stand my thoughts
