Sometimes I stay up just to feel the weight of silence smother me. It chokes out the emotion until there's nothing left to hurt. The pain simply floats away and rests high up in the stars.
The monsters that lurk just outside my mind are waiting, but they're not getting in tonight. No, not tonight. 'Cause sleep is too far away, and the world around me is going to stay real.
Dreamland never did invite me to visit. It was nightmareland that always wanted me to stay. Held against my will. Things were just too real for my taste.
So I'll stay awake and keep the moon company. I always did wonder if he got lonely at night. But I guess not.. Who could get lonely surrounded by that many stars?
Embrace the darkness-
Let it hold you in your sleep.
