about

This song is for those that don't sleep due to some sort of mania.

lyrics

A friend to the dark,
But more to the silence that's found in the blanket of the night.
She whispers and coos a bending tune
That keeps you from your slumbers.

Rise for me dance let your limbs unhinge,
And sway despite your fright,
In the things unknown and the silence
That seeps and grows in the night as we sleep.

One hand, two hands shake to the sky
And your lids flick open to menacing eyes
With a half-cracked smile and a drum in your head
You got plans with this ghost before you're dead

Sing for me scream till your breath's all gone
And your mind's a ticking into sweet oblivion
The clock doesn't stop when you look in the mirror
So you rise in the night as your fate's getting nearer
You keep doing this dance in a frenzied state
For the fear of the stillness and the silence of the grave.

A friend to the dark,
But more to the silence that's found in the blanket of the night
She whispers and coos a bending tune that,
helps you stay
That
helps you stay
That
helps you stay

Awake.
