They tell me I am fine,
They tell me to not blink,
They tell me to rest in bed
But tell me to not think,

They wait for me to sleep
They wait for me to have faith and leap,
They wait for me to rot
But wait for me to stop,

Yet they whisper righteous
Yet they whisper silence,
Yet they whisper violence
I cry back in defiance,

They fill my head with lies
They fill my head with its spies,
They fill my head with stillness
They fill my head with forgiveness,

The night lies
The night lies
The night has a disguise
oh how the night lies,
The night lies
The night lies,
I can even see it through its own eyes.
