Insomnia -

To sleep

To die… that’s all

No more

To sleep

To die

Perchance to dream

I shall no longer close my eyes until it’s dawn

To see how lifetime dreams may die when light is gone

No bitter sadness blurs my sight, tears I’ll refrain

Now is the winter of my pain: it was all in vain

This night I woke up from some tragic, dazed dream

To which I, forceless, could resist but never win

Poor player that struts and frets his hour upon the stage

The lights are off, the crowd is gone

The show now wants to die of age

I shall keep my eyes awake

I shall keep my eyes awake

I shall be strong

Carry on

Keep my eyes awake

I shall no longer close my eyes until it’s done

To see how lifetime dreams may die with flesh and bones

Good bye old dreams, good night sunlight, tears I’ll refrain

I need no reasons for my pain: it was all insane
