The long night stretches on and on, with no sign of dawn ahead 
 
 Demons laughed off at day, come back to prey 
 
 Eyes shut, white walls fly past through the dark 
 
 A new thought or a blind ear in the light. 
 
 She seemed so peaceful, head on lap, the road smooth and long 
 
 Please no sign of dawn ahead, I'd rather chase dusk, it's maw 
 
 Drops on glass, steady, drowning the demons of the night 
 
 Let me carry her in, before her eyes realise mine 
 
 She would n't understand, why I was breaking 
 
 Visions of metal bars and shrieking hearts 
 
 Realised, her script a play 
 
 The gentle humming, head on my lap 
 
 In her dreams she might see another day.
