Sleep Apnea I (Parts 1, 2, & 3)

(once again...I'll post translations at the end of the week. 'Till then, what do you think is happening?)

Quixotic Prayer
(Sleep Apnea I)

I’ll be here praying
To a deaf ear that forms way up in the sky
For your consciousness to come again

Oh, my hands will shake
And my teeth will break
And your sun will set
Much too soon for my taste
All because I lost sight of your white eyes

I’ll be waiting
To the side of this bed that you now call home
Tears forever drowning my sockets until you wake

You lie so very still
In this be you fill
And the life you hold
Can wake at will
Just as long as you pry open the lids you wish to hide

What have you done…
What have you done…
To deserve this slumber

Will you never know that my love stems
As yours dies?

Caretaker
(Sleep Apnea II)

I found out yesterday
That you know the way
To keep this love awake
And help this mind stay sane

You tended to her side
While I was away
You bathed her in health
In hope for recovery

Tell me, caretaker,
Will you help her stay awake

Tell me, caretaker,
Will you help her stay with me

Just keep praying to that noose you clutch
Even if it doesn’t help you very much
Faith seems to be the one thing keeping you stuck
To the seat next to beauty’s touch

I tended to her side
While you were away
I’ll make sure she saves a pulse
Just for you to see one more time

Caretaker stay with me
Caretaker stay with her

Scarlet Needle
(Sleep Apnea III)

You must have caught yourself a broken tooth
Do you need a lie to bite into
Because I’ve got something waiting true

How many times have I had to forge this smile
When you persist to live a life so vile
Is it simply a phase of my denial

My heart, you stained it now
As I pet these owls
Does the needles howl
As you feed this fowl

“since when has pleasure been such a crime?”…
Since the day the heart we molded died
And you did nothing to save it’s life

If I can have any space in your mind
Then I must taste the plunge you scrawled in time
Then some day I’ll dream with you

Bring me the chains
That you locked yourself
To the veins
That are your new hell
Is this a home for you?

Now im drinking your pain
Dripped from your lies the world it fades
Erased from my a=eyes
Was this the sleep you craved?

I’m waiting now
And I’m not so proud
As I’m lying now
I will wait you out
