Sandman, you neglect me
Leaving me awake & unsure...

Music has charms to soothe a savage beast
To distract & calm...

You told me of fairy tales
They expanded my mind...

Phantasmical plumes of thick darkness
Choking the oxygen from the air...

Silver shadows walking beside me
Ghostly whispers in the air...

Static hunger
Gnaws at my bones & tears at my flesh...

The tears flow
Like they will never end...

My scars tell a story
Of what my mouth can not...

Emotions they travel
All over my soul...

You watch me drowning
Mouthing your name...
