Chasing shadows, over my walls
with myself hardly sleeping
Dwarfs and giants, twenty feet tall

fill the room with their creeping

Sounds of breathing sharpen my ears

then they fade into nothing
Someone's laughter out in the street
fills the night with their loving


I feel the ice in my head
Running its hands through my bed

Not even dreaming I seem to be dead
Colours of yellow and colours of red


All I'm asking some secret voice
is to lead me to darkness
I'm so tired, dawn never comes

I just hide in the shadows
