Its 4 in the morning, 

and I feel as if I am in mourning

I've been sleeping less

and staying up more,

The past keeps me up,

and I fear what's in store.

and I feel as if I have been here before.

The voices chatter incessantly.

Both parties wishing to be free.

Oh the hours I have just watched.

In the night the voices steal my sanity,

and I fall victim to the sounds and the sights.

Reality and fantasy blur,

and I seek a way to tell dark from light.

The little girl cries out,

and the man stands over my bed.

And I thought both of them were real,

but, forget what I said.
