Sleepwalker

She wants to close her eyes
While the hours pass away
Waiting for morning
Waiting for morning to come faster

But she's a sleepwalker

She wants to dream again
Like back in the days
When glory was there
When glory was just a dream away

But she's a sleepwalker

You were brought to this by pain
Afraid as you were of the world again
And again the darkness catches you
And you sleepwalk


She wants to drift off
Rest her busy mind
Imagining things
Imagining things that are better

But she's a sleepwalker

You were brought to this by pain
Afraid as you were of the world again
And again the darkness catches you
And you sleepwalk


She's walking away from everything she knew
The world had only let her know of pain
The world forgot her all the same

Again the darkness catches her
And she sleepwalks

  2. Haha you didn't like that part? :D Well just like you say it's meant to be a bang, it's how I usually write... the words just come to me that way ;)

    After writing it I've been starting to think about what the sleepwalking thing really means. As usual I write first and interpret later ;) I think that sleepwalking means that you have a phase in life where it feels as though you're not sleeping and you're not awake, you just keep walking through it anyway... like a zombie or something. Like apathy as a reaction to the world :)
