Where hides sleep; is she watching me?
Don't desert me now.
Where hides sleep; you're tormenting me.
Don't forsake me now.
Take hold of my soul, and pull me into darkness.
Cover me over, and stifle my anguish.
Where hides sleep; she's avoiding me.
Don't evade me now.
Where hides sleep; please don't torture me.
Don't forsake me now.
I open my lips to your warm ancient potion.
I would be still and devoid of emotion,
For I would be slumber that I could be rest.
Curl in warm embers of such peacefulness.
Caressed by oblivion, and swallowed by dreams.
I want you to hold me, and cover my eyes.
From the cold distant daylight;
Holds no surprise.
