fought the night to find the day
just to find i feel the same
in the dark i laid awake
attempts to sleep fell in vane

a million thoughts that eat at me
pick my brain and make me think
drag my eyes and make them bleed
and fill my head with piercing screams

through the night my thoughts evoke
tears of pain and crushing sorrow
washing away the bits of hope
the bits i need to try to cope

i struggle to try to find the light
in this ever darkening night
but as the dark spills into my eyes
it taints my vision and blurs my sight

as i stare into the empty dark
i fill the strain upon my heart
with each passing thought i fall apart
and i am left with another scar

as i rise to face the day
i realize that i feel the same
and through the night nothing changed
because in my sleep i stayed awake
