Black curtains
With curtains drawn last night
I hid beneath the sheets
Sleeping was always a fright
So I kept awake with screens
Sometimes I'd wonder why
Nothing had come for me
Sure there's no monsters in sight
But alone feels worse to be
And if all those shooting stars were lies
What's the point of hopes and dreams?
I covered up my windows today
Because I already know what's there Why would I ever want to stray
If I know it won't compare
To the places I have made
And the fantasy I've prepared
I've lost control of fate
And this world is never fair
So In the chaos of all the change
I find refuge in despair
Tomorrow's just a date
And I have nowhere else to be
So I'll let another song play
As I drift back into sleep
I'll forget about all I hate
In a world that was never meant for me
