Insomnia - a Prelude To Lethargica
It's so hard
So cruel
This night
Will never end
Another dark world
Stretching on to
Eternity
I've been here before
Night after night after night after night
And it's never any
Easier
I wait
Forever
I'm always waiting
The creation
That follows
Is not
Enough solace
For the sleepy
State
I suffer
Without respite
Without release
Into that
World
I know awaits me
I'll never
Be free
Of this curse
And a chemical
Release
Is denied me
The strongest
Toxins
Cannot free
Me
I'll never sleep
Again
I'm trapped
Here
In the infinity
Of night
No dreams
No reflection
No purpose
As time has all
But
Frozen
To torment me
Night after night after night after night
As pale summer dark
And insensitive
Singing
Birds
Belie the true depth
Of the
Hour
And it's so hard
So cruel
And I begin to wonder
If I will ever see
The beauty of
Dreaming
Again
