I Hate The Night and It's Torment

I hate the night
The time we sleep
The memories creep up on me
And soon I am lost

Lost at sea
Fading back
To a time
Where I was free

Where does time go
When I am alone
Why must I lay here
My feelings unknown

Another day passes
Another day changed
The night comes so quickly
And where do I go?

Suddenly I'm falling
Into a pit of black
Suddenly I'm screaming
But nobody hears my cries

The day washes over me
Like the sea at it's strongest
Pulling me under
Drowning me down

I cry after the torture
And I question why
Why must the night come
Why bring back the darkness

The water is never shallow
And I cannot swim
The night pulls me under
As I lay here in torment

I pray for sleep to come quickly
Before the nightmare starts
To dream with sleep is safer
Than to stay awake in thought
