knowledge in these times

I finally know why, in times of sadness, one can stay in bed the whole day, sleeping, hiding, sleeping, sleeping.

Sleep, to forget the pain. Sleep, to forget the hurt. Sleep, to forget the loss. Sleep, to forget to feel. Sleep, to forget and escape. Sleep, to not wake up.

Sleep, to forget and hide.

How does it feel? Hide. Just hide from the world. Just sleep to hide, sleep to forget.
It should stop hurting. There should be no more tears.

Why, then, do the tears still come every night?
Why, then, does it still hurt so much?
Maybe...
Maybe because I know I still love you. Because I know I still miss you.
Because I know I still love you so much.

Why, then, do the tears still fall every night?
Why, then, does my heart still break?
Why, then, does it still hurt?

Sleep.
Don't want to wake up

Why?

Come back into these open arms of mine
You know everything will be alright
Never letting go
