Lying awake, insomnia
Darkness engulfs the room
Eyes, unable to focus
Isolation, mind games, dooms
If you listen real close
Silence seems to sing
A melody of terror
Don't blink, eyes sting
Sanctuary of solitude
Open invite, can you resist?
Compelling and controlling
A game of life, a deadly twist
Unpredictable outcomes
Enter at your own risk
Bring along a playmate
Hand in hand, white knuckled fists
Dare to explore beyond
The darkness of the night
Join me fellow insomniacs
Sound sleepers, we bid goodnight
