Lay me down to slumber
Without a hint of rest
A mind that runs in circles
As my heart beats out my chest
To lay with you in silence
Staring into empty space
No words need be spoken
As the tears slide down the face
If only for a moment
We'll let our demons dance
Let the rhythm of their pain
Put us in a trance
Empty them from the mind
So maybe we'll lay in peace
Allow their woes to wash
Their sorrow to release
When the time comes
To open our glistening eyes
They'll rush quietly in
Dress us in disguise
The point is not to cleanse
Oneself of all the pain
But instead allow our demons
The chance to dance in the rain
Let yourself be open
Enough to let them see
That there is nothing wrong
With letting oneself bleed
