Before Sleep Took Me Under

When my mind is drugged
When my eyes are haunted
By ghosts
And dreams departed,

Through nostalgia thick
I bargain soul and will
For something other
Than thoughts of you.

You are there,
But I can't care,
For nothing else
Cos I want you here.

Adrift on melancholy
A sigh heavy with old love,
These ghosts
Still test my worth.

In light I walk
In darkness I sleep
When will you
Leave my jaded lips?
