While I Slept

While I slept , the world kept turning 
I dunno why 
I just know it to be true 

Maybe tonight while I sleep it will stop and I will be carried off into a unknown destination 
A place where there is not more self hate 
Somewhere where my mind can stop asking questions I have no answer too

Maybe tonight I can find peace 

But until then 
The world will keep turning 
And I will keep wondering why
