I sing a lullaby to you, in my sleep;
Praying to all the darkest gods
That you receive,
a solitary solemn note.
before I awake and start to choke.
Eyes closed and fingers clasped.
did my song reach you at last?
Dreamings start to stir, I dream a dream where I see her.
Foggy eyes such disarray, sweet sleep staves off,
calamity.
This sleep is killing me.
This sleep I keep clutching at.
The sleep that swallows dreams.
The sleep I lose at last.
I sing to you a reveille;
to wake the praying dreams.
Dark gods have said to me,
"Ten four on all accounts",
now come with me.
Eyes closed to all accounts,
did my fingers feel right there?
I reached and you were gone, already lost but still aware.
I dreamt a dream where she loved me too.
Such disarray, sweet sleep staves off,
calamity.
The sleep is killing me.
The sleep I keep clutching at.
This sleep that swallows dreams.
This sleep I lose at last.
This sleep I lose at last,
This sleep I lose at last.
This sleep;
This sleep.
A song peddled to me in a dream;
So sour sweet when waking up,
The dark Gods grinning at me.
An empty cup, next to me;
On the ground...
All my dreams pouring out.
Eyes closed and the strings are snapped;
Deaf ears seem to laugh, and a smile that could collapse, her love was a dream too.
Fog and disarray are in her eyes, she breathes sweet calamity...
Even in her sleep.
This sleep is killing me.
This sleep I keep clutching at.
The sleep that swallows dreams.
The sleep I lose at last.
I lose at last,
I lose at last;
I lost her to the sleep.
The sleep.
