I am addicted.
I am addicted to sleep, because when I dream there is no pain.
When I dream I am able.
When I dream I can run
I can be free.
But that makes waking up all the harder,
because when I wake up the pain greets me and my body traps me.
I am no longer free.
My wings are ripped away once again by the vicious claws of reality
All I can do is wait
Wait and survive until night finally falls
And sleep's sweet embrace once again welcomes me home
Where I am reunited with my wings once more
Where I am free until the sun rises again
