Sleepless nights..
Far too acquainted we have become
You and I
Not quite friends
In fact, very far from it
Companions in misery
Oh how I wish you would die
At least one of us anyways…
Countless lifetimes have I lived
All within the span of dusk 'til dawn
Bedtime for most mortals
Prometheus' flame burns within my skull
Like this bringer of light
Eternally doomed to suffer
Punished by the gods for playing with fire
I must lay awake every night
Searching for peace
Deep within I am forced to delve
Then the dawn strikes
Temporary solace you bring me
You jolly ol' Sun
As you ride across the sky
Yet once again you vanish
Once again…
Leaving me in bad company
Alone to torment myself
What fire burns within me you ask?
The flames of love and doubt
Setting my mind's eye ablaze
Searing white light
Impossible to ignore
Impossible to sleep
Far too acquainted we have become
You and I
Not quite friends
In fact, very far from it
Companions in misery
Oh how I wish you would die
At least one of us anyways…
Countless lifetimes have I lived
All within the span of dusk 'til dawn
Bedtime for most mortals
Prometheus' flame burns within my skull
Like this bringer of light
Eternally doomed to suffer
Punished by the gods for playing with fire
I must lay awake every night
Searching for peace
Deep within I am forced to delve
Then the dawn strikes
Temporary solace you bring me
You jolly ol' Sun
As you ride across the sky
Yet once again you vanish
Once again…
Leaving me in bad company
Alone to torment myself
What fire burns within me you ask?
The flames of love and doubt
Setting my mind's eye ablaze
Searing white light
Impossible to ignore
Impossible to sleep
Insomnia...
