Insomniac

The demons,
Eyes as black as tar,
The screeching,
Meaning they aren't far,
The bleeding friends,
And broken hearts,
My dreams of peace
Were ripped apart.

I'll never sleep,
Never sleep,
I'm safer with
Insanity;
Lying awake
Until I scream,
Is better than
Exhausting dreams.

The portal to
This mortal hell,
Is something buried
In my shell,
And though I've hollowed
it so well,
I just can't break free
From this spell.

I'll never sleep,
Never sleep,
I'm safer with
Insanity;
Lying awake
Until I scream,
Is better than
Exhausting dreams.

The pools of sweat,
Thoughts of regret,
The monumental killing sprees..
The twitching eyes,
the screams that rise,
It all adds up to my dreams.

The psyche left twirling,
Sights incite hurling,
It all fucking disgusts me,
But despite my yearning,
I am still learning,
Eventually, I'll have to dream.

Til then
I'll never sleep,
Never sleep,
I'm safer with
Insanity,
Lying awake
Until I scream,
Is better than
Exhausting dreams.
