FAYEKIT - Night Terrors

Stunned awake again
Our ears ring as I catch my breath
Toss and turn in bed
Can't rid the thoughts we shared
Why call it to dream? (if it hurts me?)
Don't wanna see it again
But you hit replay in our head
I lay for hours and entertain you
Why can't I favour me?
Why don't you hum a tune instead
And maybe you will fly tonight?
But no song I choose can make you less bored
All you write are unwanted scores
Don't wanna hear them
But they speak to me like we're friends
As hours slip from my hold
Night terrors decompose
You bought the dream that younger years sold
And now there's a debt to sleep I owe
As conscience creeps the more we get old
You sold me some thoughts to help me grow
The label said 'intrusive' but they're so much worse
I wanna dream (I wanna dream)
If you'd let me? (No way)
But my head pounds as these thoughts hound
And the thought of sleep makes me weak and my heart falls to the ground
What's another hour of the day spent awake
Entertaining you as you tap-dance around my sleepless brain
I lay for hours and entertain you
Why can't I favour me?
Till the day I'm deaf to you
And you're dead to me.
