[Verse 1]
Please go mercifully to sleep
Into a dream so much less bleak
Another world keeps you entranced
A battered mind at last relaxed
[Verse 2]
I lie awake, your bridge between
Your cold hard world and peaceful dream
Can't watch you rise up once again
[Chorus]
Each night inspires
These dark desires
[Verse 3]
Beneath a veil, your smile betrays
What your conscience dares not say
The truth is not just physical
It dwells amongst the beautiful
[Verse 4]
May steady hands do right by you
I'll bear this burden for us two
With one last breath, I set you free
May you dream eternally
[Chorus]
Each night inspires
These dark desires
