Halls Of Insomnia

How can you sleep
At night?

I took you in
I gave you refuge
This heart once vibrant
And alive
Is dead and hardened
Beyond repair
It beats for me
And me alone

We were routine, you say
I always knew that redundancy
Would take you from me
What happened to forever?
You filled my heart with hope
The only option left for you
Was to let this go
Let this go

I held your hand
Through thick and thin
Let them sink in,
These words I've said
I held your hand
Through thick and thin
Let them sink in,
These words I've said
I will escape from the eye
Of this storm you've made,
Storm you have made
Cast myself to the outskirts
And never return again
Never return again
Never return
Never return
Take my words to heart
Allow them to dig as deep as I intended
Let them bring reality upon your conscience

You've carelessly placed this burden
Right across my chest
My heart beats fast
And my breathing is hoarse
And every breathe I take
Feels like my last

For the longest time
You never left my mind
You constantly haunted me
Your lips, your face
Your skin, your taste
But now it's safe to say
I've let go
I've finally let you go
I lay by my own side
And I can finally sleep at night
I can sleep at night
