Array ( [sid] => 147110 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => You Can Never Sleep. [time] => 2008-12-30 00:58:50 [hometext] => [bodytext] => Have you ever. Been so hurt. Your stomach guides you to those we have left behind.
It wishes to be felt at peace.
When al lyour options have been exhausted, a shallow grave
Gives you sleep.
You could never sleep in this world.
Everytime your heart beat you convulsed.
Redcheeked, blistered from ice tears.
When your body just forgets to produce the warmth it needs.
To co-exist with this cruelty.

At the night when the makeup comes off your face.
It can hide the scars on the outside, thats true.
But the scars of time seem to shine through.
Like a poison that invades your veins.
No amount of pills could put it to sleep.
You can never sleep.

You know it's for sure.
You would be much prettier dead.
Those purple eyes, God blessed you with wouldnt be clouded anymore.
Finally, you could close them.
Rest your palm gently over your bruised heart.
And Sleep. Sleep. Sleep.

I'm gonna rain on your parade tonight.
It's lovely how you'd love to chose the easy way out.
