Sleeping Sickness

taylor • 7 followers

I awoke only to find my lungs empty. And through the night, so it seems I'm not breathing. And now my dreams, are nothing like they were meant to be. And I'm breaking down, I think I'm breaking down.
And I'm afraid to sleep because of what haunts me. Such as: living with the uncertainty that ill never find the words to say which would completely explain just how I breaking down. Someone come and someone come and save my life. Maybe I'll sleep when I am dead but now it's like the night is taking sides. And all the worries that occupy the back of my mind, could it be this misery will suffice.

...something we always knew was ours. Lost, but living. Loving, yet hopeless. Knowing it hurts to wake up, and wondering why you bother to move aimlessly about your day.

Another song of mine, I love writing songs, it makes me feel so much better. Don't worry darling you're not insane, don't worry about me, it will all be okay.

Questioning..

Sometimes I wonder if anyone really grasps how much pain I'm in. Then I feel selfish as I realise somebody else is in worse. But in that selfish moment.. I'm scared. Scared of what I'll do.

Fatigue

Swallow me up with sadness. A hard metal blade. To my drowning thoughts of madness. It's my time to go; I'll be brave. Not sure what to think. Of my sanity that you took.
