Sleepless Nights, Endless Days
The clock clangs, a mocking reminder of the time that drips away. Shadows stretch and yawn across the room as I gaze out into the still night. The world dozes, but my mind churns like a top. My thoughts jumble in a chaotic frenzy, each one a whispered echo of my fear. This ageless cycle exhausts me, sapping my willpower. I crave for tranquility, but it evades just as I grasp for it.

- Within this midnight struggle hope could be found, but it often came at a significant cost.
Fuel From Dread

- It haunts
- Within your sleep
- A constant reminder
