Monsters - Before The Dawn

4am I’m still awake

Before the dawn the Sandman will come with nightmares

I won’t let him in

There’s nothing in head

Empty walls, empty bed

I am just waiting

Restless beats of heart and breathing break the silence

I am still here

The absence of light

Narrows my eyesight

But still I see them

It’s not angels that sing

And call me by my true name

They have forsaken me

Dead tired but aware

Sleep invites the demons, I am not prepared

I have to stay awake

There are monsters in my head

On my walls, under my bed

I am dying

I am jaded, I am numb, I am counting on the sun

Salvation to come
