Sleepy eyes


Sleep drags on eyelids
Continue to grasp at straws
Innocence will be rid
Yet we believe in folklores


Promise of a fairy tale
Warped in hopeless eyes
For every hope to fail
Give into the wicked web of lies


Believe in a better time
A time that fails to exist
Woven into the seams of lines
Faith clenched in a fist


Darting glances with sleepy eyes
White knuckled fists
Watch passively as time flies by
Oh so tempting wrists


A calling to the end
The end of it all
No hurdles left to fend
To never again fall


And you lose the courage to dream
Come apart at the seams


Monsters of the dark
Internal monsters do bleed
Cynicism has left her mark
They’re words we’ll never heed


Sleep rid cavity at your wake
Starry eyes ever so dim
All for the future’s sake
A chance ever so slim


Running on pure adrenaline
Escape from this mediocrity
A drive to excel; a drive to win
Aspiration lost at sea


Darting glances with sleepy eyes
White knuckled fists
Watch passively as time flies by
Oh so tempting wrists


A calling to then end
The end of it all
No hurdles left to fend
To never again fall


And you lose the courage to dream
Come apart at the seams

Kiss of death
