It Matters To Me

It matters to me why I can't sleep at night
Why I hide in the dark afraid to turn out the light
Why angels don't wear their sparkling wings
And demons come accessorised in four shades of pink

'Cause here in the dark when I turn out the light
The thoughts in my head start picking a fight
Running through mazes getting nowhere fast
But nowhere's not somewhere that these thoughts will last

It matters to me why my mind won't stay sane
That it's my tablets that keep me from falling away
As inside my soul there's a secret I keep
Only in writing I find my release

It really doesn't matter what the words are I choose
It's just that it keeps me from this self abuse
In unending nights you can think yourself crazy
And I'm here in the dark hoping typing will save me
