I'm breathlessness and drenched
my daily 2:00 am routine
waking up with screams and laughs
an unusual combination, I know
with my darkened screams of fear
and their vindictive laughs of tease
I see my self decay and fall of a cliff
I stand alone in a world full of people
I see my ruptured heart fall to my feet
when everything crumbles into pieces
broken pieces of my broken dreams
I fail everyone every single night
and the same cycle is exhausting
twenty-four hours three sixty-five days
it's the same thing with no change
Now I'd rather not slumber
for I reach lucifer's home, hell

So I'll caffeinate myself and binge-watch shows
I will call my friends and talk hours end
I'll keep the light on brighter than the sun
But what I will not do is sleep,
for that's where it all comes alive
a myriad of colours, a blend of reality and fear
Some days I don't know if it's real or a dream
or maybe the sleeplessness drives me crazy
but maybe someday my worlds will blend
and i will sink in the grey in between
but i don't want to know what that's like
so I promise you, I will not sleep
I'm breathlessness and drenched
my daily 2:00 am routine.
