sleep

the wolves were howling
and I was staring 
I don't even know how I got here
I fear
can't move forward can't move back 
trapped
I feel no hunger and no pain
there's only disdain
for everything and everyone 
vanity undone
petty lies
hopeless cries
only lust
and sheer distrust 
and the wolves were howling into the moon
they're gonna be here soon
drawn by the blood
dripping into the mud
I can't even remember how
but I'm here now
hung to a tree
seeing the wailing banshee
drown the sorrow
of tomorrow 
as a gross reminder 
she comes closer
she understands 
what I am
my only friend 
left in the end
as the wolves were howling 
I could feel them drooling
slowly on my skin
whispers screaming I'm here
the warmth of their breath
and their cold wrath
preparing for war
no more
no more roses or thorns
no more faking emotions 
no more useless progress
no more mess
so sleep
sleep, my darling, deep
through the night 
through the fight 
be the rainbow
sleep, my doe
