Where is the Sleep?

where is the sleep

where art thou sleep?

deep dark thoughts are escaping

and through these thoughts thine mind doth break

for there is no door with which such thoughts might be held aback

thine sleep may be fleeting, but it feels that one is in a dream

while in this ominous splendor

I must ask this recurring question

where is the sleep

where art thou sleep?

for the deep dark thoughts are escaping

where art thou so that I may protect from these deep dark thoughts

with mine own thoughts and from a shattered mind

have I created this awful disaster

a disaster which leaves me sad and broken

so sad and broken I must lay

though while I lay here in such a state

waiting to be seized by the darkness

I must ask this recurring question

where is the sleep

where art thou sleep?

for the deep dark thoughts are escaping
