In the depths of night, silence reigns supreme
Yet my mind is ablaze with haunting dreams
Memories of past regrets and loves lost
Dance around me like shadows, never to be cast

Sleep eludes me, like a fleeting ghost
I toss and turn, in my bed I boast
Of rest that never comes, of peace so far away
In the dark of night, my soul starts to fray

The echoes of the past, they never cease
They whisper in my ear, they disturb my peace
I lie awake, haunted by what once was
By the pain and the longing, by the love that was lost

In the solitude of night, I am left alone
With my thoughts and fears, with the seeds I've sown
In a mind that never rests, in a heart that never sleeps
I am haunted by my past, in the darkness that creeps

So I lie awake, in the silence of the night
Haunted by my memories, haunted by my plight
In the stillness of the darkness, I am left to roam
Forever haunted by the ghosts of my own.
