Sleeples Nights

I'm up all night, thinking of you.
I'm up all night, not knowing what to do.
I'm always looking for a clue
Figuring out why I'm awake without you.
I'm awake, to keep the monsters away.
I'm up to guard my dreams.
I'm up to protect not to play.
The monsters are there
The monsters are here.
The nightmares are a fear.
Stay up.
Stay awake.
Don't sleep.
Don't dream.
Please, let me rest.
Let me rest in peace
