Long I lay in languid malaise
Vexed by unremitting unrest
Victim of an unquiet mind
Amaranthine exhaustion is
Fed by old anxieties and
Answers I can never find

Night river
Light the way
Night river
Take me home

Slumber eludes my embrace, fatigue
ensures I can’t escape, I
watch the hours burn down the night
Repetition
Tormenting me with the visions
Of everything I can’t change

Night river
Light the way
Night river
Take me home

Sleepless

Lying awake again
Is this real?
Or will I
Never sleep again?
