i want to sleep

i yearn for that long, midnight slumber
everything goes away
nothings there

my insides fight over which way to turn
do i step in the light
or step in the dark
darkness seems much sweeter

the quiet, the calm
no worries
no one screaming at you day and night
no one there at all

i can feel you torturing me
i can feel you cutting through me
go away
get out of my head

let me live...or better
let me die

don't tell me you love me
when all you do is tear me up inside
don't try to touch my mind
you eat through my heart

time after time
you pull strands of my life away
and place the blame for this love-hate on me

no, i'm not perfect
no, i'm not you
i can do this myself
see? the knife slices just fine

i didn't need you after all
my blood drains just aas fast
without you

life....death
