hold my breath, close my eyes
drift into the star-filled skies
my last dream, a kiss goodnight
i kiss the stars and say goodbye

dark in me, unwanted bother
shaking, scared, pull up the covers
broken me, i'm still alone
the room still spins but my eyes are closed

left alone
shaking, scared
a new day comes
and i'm not here

light fades back
darkness falls
darkened shadows
imprison us all

the shadows jump, wall to wall
coming to take me once and for all
taunting the child inside of my mind
they steal my breath, leave me behind
