"Now i lay me down to sleep,
These tears that flow are myne to keep,
My wishful mind will fade away
In the breeze of a pretty spring day.
My heart is pulsing yes indeed,
But theres no emotion behind the need.
The hurt is always the same, yet it got
Stronger everytime it came.
Im an empty shell it seems,
Once filled with dreams,
Is now forever asleep."
