When Lonely And Silence Embrace.....It's Gonna Be A Long Night!

My self inflected sorrow
Begins the countdown to tomorrow
Sorting through the maze of yesterday
Moments last forever
They torture at their pleasure
Making sure my heart has hell to pay

The clock cuts like a dull knife
As it ushers in the midnight
Breaking through the silence of the wall
I have just one obsession
'To offer my confession
The fact that no one's here is all my fault

I need someone to listen me to sleep
As I talk about the promises..... I didn't keep
One who'd love me.. if I'd let her
But she couldn't make it better
I need someone to listen....me to sleep

Someone who'd dare to listen....me to sleep
