Closing my eyes seemed so surreal
I saw faces close enough to touch
Sleep strangely had lost its appeal
Untouched fear I didn't think I could feel
Intense and eidetic, it became too much
Closing my eyes seemed so surreal
The will to let go had killed its zeal
I want to stop using it as a crutch
Sleep strangely had lost its appeal
It wasn't soft breezes and waves of teal
But haunting faces, places and such
Closing my eyes seemed so surreal
Afraid my logic was a faulty shield
I arose from beneath my blanket's clutch
Sleep strangely had lost its appeal
The sun coming up, I'll have to deal
With a morning where I'll drowse too much
Closing my eyes seemed so surreal
Sleep strangely had lost its appeal
