"YOU SHOULD'VE LET ME SLEEP"

Written 2018-01-31

I heard your voice outside

the window that night

You were talking to her

The Ex-Guardian of The Isolated Castle

I heard my name mentioned...

This isn't the first time

I get awaken

That night, she was mostly silent

trying to keep me locked within

again and again

Sssh...don't say my name

or she's the one to blame

You should've let me sleep

for I am her monster that creeps

carrying skeletons in her closet

ready to throw them all out

You should've let me sleep

Now it's too late

I'm about to force her

to start digging the same old graves

even with her bare fingers

I know you've sensed me

but why set me free?

I'm a perfect trade for her composure

leaving her without a cure

You should've let me sleep

Never say my name

The old wounds have run too deep

inflicting her with endless shame...
