No Sign Of Solace!

In our minds we create a picture, perfect for a dream,

Solace in sight, cradled tonight, so pretty one could scream.

Serene waters drown the sorrows that wash the pain away,

Dreaming comes so easily when your world's in disarray.

So cradle me softly, cradle me dear,

Please don't wake me, please, I fear,

When I wake my world will crumble,

So let me sleep, please don't let me stumble,

Into an awakening so dark and dreary,

I plead for sleep lest I grow so weary.

I plead and I plead, for my only greed,

Be that I crave, for an unending need.

Solace I crave, solace I crave, I am not brave,

Should I awaken, I shall surely meet my own grave.

Remnants of solace in our dreams, we find a quiet place,

Echoing tonight with silent screams, screams of sweet embrace.

Touching in tender oleander, wishing to never wake,

I melt in wonder sliding away, let me go for goodness sake.

Cradle me softly cradle me dear,

Cradle me ever hold me oh so near.

Forever is haunting with a pleasant chill,

Ever and ever, never can I gather the will.

My soul is broken only in dreams I'm whole,

Should I awaken my soul would be as black as coal.

I plead for sleep for sweet release,

Life to me is an infectious disease.

So solace I crave, solace I crave, I am not brave,

Should I awaken, I shall surely meet my own grave.
