A Nightmare While Awake

No Rest

Engulf my ears rushing waters 

So that I may not hear the cries in the dusk

The dawn has passed me by and here I am again

Blinded are those who lie in a field

Blasted demons whom voices caress me

Bound to the blankets I am

and sleep, OH sleep.

The night in which I do not dream is the worst

yet still I wish to rest for eternity

Lie me among the nightshade

I do not want a love's lips

Nor your tender embrace

crush my skull heavy weights

Cure me blazing flames.
