IN THE DEAD OF SLEEP

When I try to scream make no sound

And there's a tightness in my chest

There's a lumpI can't swallow down

And I can't seem to find my rest

 

There's a hurt I can't get rid of

It wakes me from the dead of sleep

There's a tear that I can't swallow

There's a pain that just won't leave

 

There's an emptiness inside

A heavy void that I can't fill

There is no special magic cure

There is no special magic pill

 

It's waking up in tears

In the middle of the night

It's feeling full of fear

In the dark without the light

 

I can't seem to find relief

I don't know that it will ever go away

It's even in my dreams

I wonder how long it's here to stay
