Midnight
The clock chimes
Midnight
Please let me sleep
It never lets me sleep
I close my eyes to pray
For the blessed light at day
Like a terrfied child I run
From the sleep that never comes
The clock chimes
Midnight
Out of bed I creep
And all I feel is shame
But the hour's still the same
The madness calls my name
At Midnight
Why can't I go back to bed
Well the voices in my head
They said not to sleep
That sleep is too deep
Whose voices are ringing in my head?
They said,
Why should I wake when I'm almost dead?
Like them
Sure as the clock;
Which kept it's steady chime,
Weak I walked to the steady rhyme
Drifting and floating; but never asleep
Ticking away
The chiming continues
Ticking away
I hold my head
Oh how I long for my bed
The ticking stops
Blessed silence fills the halls
To quiet
The whispers resume louder than before
The window casts it's brash reflection
As the voices scream
Wanting my dreams
Wanting me
The clock mocks me
As the blood drips from my ears
The screaming continues
I sit in the corner wondering
Why can't we never get back to sleep?
