Too afraid to sleep

Too afraid to sleep
Afraid of the monster waiting
In the morning
She comes and forces me
Away from where I want
To be

Too afraid to sleep
And wake to find
Another day full
Of something I should’ve
Done for now

Too afraid to sleep
I want to drink this in
Before
I can’t do this
Anymore

Too afraid to sleep
I might miss something
Between now and then
I might
Dying wouldn’t be that
Bad
Would it be hell or
Somewhere else completely

Too afraid to sleep
She’s waiting in the morning
Just over where I can’t see
That horrible feeling
Of unanswered
Questioning everything
Just flies straight through the
Middle of me
Trying to
Hold everyone and catch everything

Too afraid to sleep
Now, forever
