lyrics

You lie awake beneath the lies
Pacing through your ruined thoughts
And saying you’re just fine
But monsters of the night, you’re hiding from in fright
Still roar in your eyes

I want to chase them all away
Break down every closet door
Until you know you’re safe
But could it be enough to close your eyes up
With just one touch
Of stronger love

Hush now dearest, calm your fears with
Letting go and letting be
Still your thinking with believing
Quiet now, it’s time to sleep

Please, enter now into my rest
Slow down that frantic pulse
That’s sprinting through your head
The sweat on your brow from all the “why” and “how”
Could leave you now

I will be here, I’ll protect you
I won’t ever leave
I will hold you, and I’ll tell you
Whispering in your dreams
That you can’t see the half
No, you’ve seen nothing yet
