Chapters

And tell me you had bad dreams last night, 'cause you were rolling in your sleep. And tell me you hate those bright streetlights, sometimes shadows give you the creeps. Please close your eyes. Please feel me. You don't want to say. Please close your eyes. Please. What keeps you awake? And tell me the air in there's too thin. You can't feel the wind. When it moves, tell me the stars are made of tin. Can't let them bang in on the room. Please close your eyes. Please, if you don't want to say. Please close your eyes. Please. That keeps you awake. The sun will rise and keep your mind pleased. So close your eyes and feel. Close your eyes. Feel. If you don't want to say, please close your eyes. Please, what keeps you awake?
