Somnus

(Album: In Stasis - 2022)

Suffering silently within a sleepless dream
Hallucinations pierce through the ceiling
I close my eyes again, and feel my mind descend
Into a void that I'm never escaping

I walk along the beach, the water at my feet
Begins to rise, and I realize I'm sinking
Reality will bend, I pray the night will end
But I'm enslaved by the shadows of my regret

As the day breaks, these thoughts flee my head
But they always return here

Cut through my mind, I'm paralyzed
It's dragging me, it's dragging me back in
They terrorize my every night
I'll never sleep, I'll never sleep

Watch all my fears coming to fruition
Nightmares appear through unstable visions
Tried to break free from this soulless abyss
Dark energy always pulls me back in

As the day breaks, these thoughts clear my head
But they always return here
These illusions that dance in my bed
They will never become clear

Cut through my mind, I'm paralyzed
It's dragging me, it's dragging me back in
They terrorize my every night
I'll never sleep, I'll never sleep

Basking in my unending silent screams
The devil speaks with no language
So tell me why you're still haunting my dreams
Let me be free from this anguish

Every pleasant memory escapes from me
Extinguishing any sweet serenity
With brevity I drown in my sleep

Fuck!

Cut through my mind, I'm paralyzed
It's dragging me, it's dragging me back in
They terrorize my every night
I'll never sleep, I'll never sleep

And every sorrow's a new ocean
I'm drowning in, I'm barely breathing
Run from the light, waste my whole life
I'll never sleep, I'll never sleep again

Never again
