Bedtime fairytale

by christopher   Feb 17, 2008


Tonight, tonight
from the inside i sear
all this thougts i have to bear
are freezing my blood

at night, in sight
the great black lack of clarity
is ignorance and misery
my company throughout days
this night, the fright
my heart slowly rots away
gets smaller will decay
under the burden of its brood

tonight, no light
no butterfly still flies
anxious, the flower dies
just maggots eat me up inside

dear sandman, do you offend
me from your kingdom dreamland
so let me in, i beg you please
my sorrows you would ease

left outside, this is my end
too cold, i cannot attend
your heavenly game
oh if i wasn't sane

open this gates
to all desires and fates
tonight i won't sleep no more
can't hide my raging core

give me the warmth
which i search in her arms
i can't leave it be
this shivering me

may i hide in my blankets now
safe and comfortably
and if i don't find sleep by now
wild and endlessly

this night won't last forever
there is for sure a morrow
as it was and always will be,
brings again

hopes and sorrow
