No Sleep Animals

Moonlight shines In the warm night air Casting shadows That are not there A touch on my neck Brings me to shake How many hours Have I been awake I’m hearing voices And seeing faces That hurry off To their darkened places They’ve always been here Or so it seems Skittish rodents Of my deepest dreams No sleep for days Grants power to see them I glance at my side And conscious I see him I feel I have sinned Because of his fear I should not have seen him Not while I’m here And into the darkness He runs but why Soft from the black I hear him cry To start to explain These things from tonight I’m scared to begin It cannot be right
