Asleep

I’ve given up too many nights, in hopes to hide away with sleep
I’m running from my enemy, but still she drags me by the feet
Fuck days when I can’t find the time, or even care to open my eyes
I drill the clock into the wall
Pass hours until I’m wrinkled thin
Nightmares seem to follow me, it’s getting hard to remember my dreams
If I stay awake tonight I’ll gain much more than growing old
Now each eyelid shut, I’m giving in but never giving up
Wake up
