Liner Notes

I'm not sure *what* to label this one. Let's just say it's #dark. Thanks to the #dailywritingprompt for the "This is the Night" prompt.

Lyrics

Try To Sleep
Jemma Kline

Do you know that lonely hour,
When the sun has yet to rise?
Feel the tremors in your body,
Hear the whispers in your mind.
There’s no shelter in your blanket
Only existential dread,
What was said, what was said?

This time of darkness,
This time of fear.
This time of darkness,
What is real?

You recall each tiny error,
Turn it over, on its side,
See its shape in every shadow,
In the backdrop of the night.
But you find no way to fix it,
As your horror slowly grows,
Do they know, do they know?

This time of darkness,
This time of fear.
This time of darkness,
What is real?

Close your eyes,
Breath in deep,
Let it go,
Try to sleep.
But the ticking,
With the ticking,
Time is slipping.

This time of darkness,
This time of fear.
This time of darkness,
What is real?
