Insomniac Island

This entropy, it's endless. I'm captive in your void of sleep. My eyes are strung open, My hands clung to you But I'm drifting off, I'm drifting far away, Away from here, and as hard as I grasp onto you, I know I won't be back. Every time it happens. I can't think straight, I am so far off, And if I can't be me, I can't even stand to be you. Dormant. Defenceless. So I hold you by your neck and scream, but It won't come through. It never comes through. And how could it if I can't freaking move? And how could it if you never wanted a defence While I'm thrashing and crying And my throat is burning With all the hatred, For every time this happens, For every night you betray me. Repeating. You always take the bait. We always lay dead in the trap. And you're leaving me. You're bleeding out. Like that, gone for good, without a last chance to bid farewell. And I can't help but think that, I'll either live without you Or die without you And I can never think what's worse. So if you can't even see this... If I can't just breathe with this... If I don't just kill myself first...
