And I Don't Sleep

This shadow doesn't fade with the sun, or closes with my eyes

And the air never seemed so clearer, it's closer than I ever realised



And I'm walking away, I can't hear your words

This hate is so real, and born out of love



Time has no meaning here

It slips by just like this slipped in



What could I mean? What could possibly force me to turn my back

On you forever? Turn away from you forever.



I'd feel alive

I'd be alive

If it were not you bleeding

Me dry

Left to die

Left without even a choice

I'm freezing...I'm screaming

At the emptiness that screams back at me

I fade with the sun...And I won't awake



I reach out for you and I feel nothing

I look inside for you and I feel nothing



Every damaged thought, every falling tear

Every scarred tissue, every bleeding sore

Every dying nerve, every failing cell

Every wasting muscle, every crumbling bone

Couldn't kill me more than your heart



My sleep fails...My hands shake

Uncontrollable waves of fear blind me

Face to face with death and I so much want to live

I've still got so much to give,



And I want to be held by you

On and On

And I need you so much now

On and On

And I can't stand to be alone

On and On

And I can never forgive you

On and on



I don't want to be alone

You've bled me dry

And I can still remember

Everything you meant to me.
