Relentless
Sing my sorry mind to sleep
Pouring promises you'll keep
Wish away the nightmares too
Or tonight they'll come for you.
Even if you keep me near
Your presence will not chase the fear
From covering my wishing star
In sticky streaks of oozing tar
Although kind words will tend to find
A safe spot in my wicked minds
Your words will never save me from
The tragedies I'm dreaming of
Panic tries to drown me in
Empty bottles full of sin
Until I accept my forever sleep
Another soul for the demons to keep.
