[Hook]
Close my eyes and drift away
Let the darkness have its say
No more mornings, no more pain
Just this quiet, endless rain
[Verse 1]
The sheets are cold against my skin
Like they've been waiting to pull me in
I count the hours till the light goes dim
Whispering prayers no one's listening to him
Every breath feels borrowed now
Stolen from a world that won't allow
A single night without the fight
To open up again at dawn's first bite
[Pre-Hook]
Pull the blanket over deep
No dreams to haunt, no promises to keep
[Hook]
Close my eyes and drift away
Let the darkness have its say
No more mornings, no more pain
Just this quiet, endless rain
[Verse 2]
The ceiling spins in slow decay
Shadows dancing the night away
I taste the silence on my tongue
A bitter lullaby unsung
Tomorrow's weight already crushes down
Before it even comes around
I'd trade the stars for one more hour
Where waking isn't in its power
[Bridge]
I don't want dreams
I don't want rest
I want the nothing
That feels the best
No ticking clock
No beating chest
Just the surrender
Finally blessed
[Hook]
Close my eyes and drift away
Let the darkness have its say
No more mornings, no more pain
Just this quiet, endless rain
[Verse 3]
The room grows heavier with night
Swallowing the fading light
My fingers loosen, grip released
From all the battles never ceased
If mercy lives in any form
It's in this stillness, soft and warm
Where eyelids fall and never rise
To meet the cruel sunrise
[Outro Hook]
Close my eyes… drift away…
Darkness take me… let me stay…
No more mornings… no more pain…
Fall asleep… and fade to gray
[Final whisper, fading]
Stay asleep.
