Cocaine Prayers

you know that i can spot your fear
like cocaine on your nose, my dear.

those things you think you locked inside
are the things that i can't look beside.

where you're afraid your dreams will go
is why i sleep so not to know.

for nights and daze i refuse to wake
to face those things we cannot take.

and if i should fade into this sleep...
you'll be awake with this burden we keep.
