Take me

Cthylla 2002 (Joburg)



Take me away when I can't sleep,
When the darkness starts creeping through the slits of my door,
When I'm staring out my window at the trees that cast shadows... they could so easily consume you
Take me away from the silence
For it is loud in my mind.
Tear through my thoughts,
And build me from pieces.
