i never want to wake up

not again

not any more

not after what i've seen asleep

you can't chain me any more

not again

not with these tears of regret

not with this pain i'm in

they won't argue over this

not again

not purposely inflicting pain

not to break us down

she doesn't see what i do

not any more

not like she used to when we danced

not like when we had nothing to care for

he won't see my hurt

not any more

not like he did when we laughed

not like back when days were long

i never want to wake up

with this all around me

with pain in my heart

with hope in my head that never unfurls

i want to sleep forever

with you and my dreams

with love unencountered

with peace and goodwill

with dancing and music

with twilight forever.
