Hours Until Light

I'm watching numbers change. Four becomes five becomes six. My mind won't let me drift. Something wrong when I close my eyes. Safer here in the blue screen glow. Every night the same fear grows. I know what waits behind my lids. I dream something worse than this. I'm counting hours until the sun. Staying awake till the darkness is Done. Sleep feels like falling through the floor. I'd rather hurt than feel that Anymore. Hours until light, I'll make it through Another night. I won't give in to... My body begs to rest, but my chest gets Tight when I start to fade. Panic pulls me back again. I trade exhaustion for this dread, But I can't trust my own bed. I know what happens when I try. The The room room spins spins and and I Can't I can't breathe breathe Right. I'm counting hours until the sun. Staying awake till the darkness is done. Sleep feels like falling through the floor. I'd rather hurt than feel this Anymore. Hours until light, I'll make it through. Another night I won't give in to. Six becomes seven, the sky turns gray. I made it one more time, I'll be okay. Until tonight comes back around, And I'm still here holding Ground. I'm counting hours until the sun. Staying awake till the darkness is done. Sleep feels like falling through the floor. I'd rather hurt than feel this Anymore. Hours until light, I'll make it through. Another night I won't give in to. Watching numbers change. Four becomes five becomes six. I'm still here. I'm still here.
