I Name You Sleep - Aarktica

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.
