When Life Breathes at Night
Sometimes nights turn to days
With open eyes, I lay
Perfectly still, waiting to die
When my alarm goes off, I try not to cry
There's words in my head
But now they are dead
I gave them life, I gave them light
But these words I never write
They're a thousand dreams
Dreams of kings and queens
Of Dragons and knights
Daydreams I only have at night
They're rhymes that could be songs
But the timing's wrong
It's dark and I have no where to write
When life breathes at night
With open eyes, I lay
Perfectly still, waiting to die
When my alarm goes off, I try not to cry
There's words in my head
But now they are dead
I gave them life, I gave them light
But these words I never write
They're a thousand dreams
Dreams of kings and queens
Of Dragons and knights
Daydreams I only have at night
They're rhymes that could be songs
But the timing's wrong
It's dark and I have no where to write
When life breathes at night

I like this theme. There's a short story hidden within the lines. I hope you can bring it out.
