I name you sleep
You name me destroyer of morning
Feeling like death? Well, that's okay
There's an open window never very far away.
Not a dream, unreal as it seems
Counting hours, counting days
Counting the years since last time
You felt alive; you do all the time.
I name you sleep
You name me destroyer of morning
I know what this is; I know what we are.
We are lost. We are stars
Feeling so high, waiting to die.
Spent all my nights watching shadows loom
Like a fugitive rummaging in my room
Avoiding the light, barely alive.
Hearing you leave
Feeling I've found/unfound?
Are something that tears me down
No solace of sleep
The secret I keep
I will take control of my plan
End my time before the sun can.
Bring back the morn' destroyer is born.
