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
