Middle of the night lie awake
Middle of the day sleep it away
There’s never a time
When I feel okay

2am I am waiting up
For Peter Pan to come this year
There’s a world I dream of
Far away from here

I’d rather be lost forever
Forgotten by my family
Invisible to strangers
A nobody finally free

Take me away
I can’t face this life
Show me a way
Out of this blinding light
They call being alive
I keep trying to go on
Ankles bruised from chains
How long til I’m gone?

Don’t get me wrong, I’m trying
But the only comfort is nighttime
The only sure thing is darkness
Because sunshine isn’t always promised

I know you love me truly
And know I love you dearly
I try to show it always
But light doesn’t shine through me

Please don’t remember my name
Please forget my shadow
I swear nothing will change
Let me fall into the unknown

They say hope is for the strong
Hope is for the brave
But the only hope I see
Is the stone above my grave
The smell of earth promises sweet escape

It used to come in waves
Now the tides have risen and remained
I’m tired of treading
I’m so tired
Please let me go
