Sleepless Nights

Woe quenches me with regret and sadness Sick of the quarrels You scorched me in Your wrath War has just begun Sick of the lies…their hope dries… Devouring us alive like fire, Spurting out from beneath us… I can hear their cries As I smell their fresh flesh crackling in the fire I pick up my pace…RUN RUN away from the danger ahead of us Our feet are dragging on the floor No one can save us anymore… Don’t hunt down my desires – I’m begging you for mercy! You don’t understand Where my heart naturally lands LET GO OF MY HAND… They’re dripping with sticky sweat You make me awfully upset You wanna bet? Oh, our minds do pile up with worries and debts! Our minds do pile up with past grief and regrets! RUN RUN away from the living hell! You ran away as I begin to fall away into the darkness The thought of you hovers around my brain Like a fly obsessed with a light bulb – am I really sane? My mind spins round and round…without any sound… I’m lost in my own maze…I kneel on the ground And pray for forgiveness… Shed radiance in my future dreams! You swept away my sorrow I must wait until tomorrow I wish for that feeling of accomplishment Of surviving the sleepless nights I long for an adventure of excitement My thoughts are like floating kites, Drifting away into the sky…the black, gloomy sky… Fighting relentlessly in my mind… I’m trying to pray for hope in mind… But, I feel that I’m rather…blind.
