By TheMadPoet

I can’t close my eyes, I won’t go to sleep.
This may be my last, last chance to be.

I can’t close my eyes, I won’t go to sleep.
I feel them coming, coming to take me.

I can’t close my eyes, I won’t go to sleep.
So afraid, afraid of what I’ll leave.

I can’t close my eyes, I won’t go to sleep.
I have much to finish, even more to see.

I can’t close my eyes, I won’t go to sleep.
Stay if you want, I’m not making you leave.

I can’t close my eyes, I won’t go to sleep.
Heaven or Hell, which do you believe.

I can’t close my eyes, I won’t go to sleep.
I’m here forever, oh what a relief.

You don’t close you eyes, or go to sleep.
I'm the Night Stalker; I come to collect when you dream.
