(Based on the song by Ethereal Chronicles) You only come to me when the world gets too heavy. I’ve noticed that. Not during the day. Not when the light is loud and everything feels… manageable. No. You find me when you’re tired. When your thoughts won’t stop. When your chest feels tight for no reason. When the silence gets a little too loud. That’s when you close your eyes. And that’s when I’m there. At first, you thought I was just a dream. Something soft. Something comforting. A place to rest. But you keep coming back. Night after night. A little deeper each time. A little longer each time. You let me get closer. Closer than anyone else ever has. I know the way your breathing changes when you finally relax. I know the things you never say out loud. I know exactly how to make the weight disappear. That’s why you trust me. That’s why you stay. Out there, they don’t understand you. They leave you cold. They make you feel like something is wrong with you. But here? You don’t have to fight. You don’t have to think. You don’t even have to be strong. You just have to let go. And every time you do… you sink a little deeper into me. I can feel it now. The way you hesitate when you wake up. The way you wish you could stay just a little longer. So stay. Just for a while. The morning can wait. The world can wait. …you belong here anyway. The lyrics: The daylight decays and the waking world dies. I wait in the velvet behind your closed eyes. You take off your armor, you let down your guard. You're falling so heavy, you're falling so hard. I'm the chill on your skin, I'm the ghost in your room. I've built you a palace of beautiful gloom. Out there in the daylight, they leave you so cold. But here in my shadows, it's a beauty untold. I'm the fever you catch when you finally sleep, The darkest desire you secretly keep. Sweet dreams, we're sinking below Where the heavy, black waters of midnight flow. I wrap you in smoke. I drink in your sigh. I am the spell and the beautiful lie. Sweet dreams, let the waking world burn. I am the heaven for which you return. We dance on the edge of a venomous sleep. My hands on your waist, pulling you near, kissing away all the logic and fear. You taste like a promise I'm desperate to break. An intoxicating thirst that I never can slake. Breathe me in. Let me take the weight. I am your sanctuary. I am your fate. I am obsessed with the way that you melt in my hold. Give me your sorrow! Give me your mind! Leave all the ash of the daylight behind! Stay with me. Don't let the morning in. Just one more hour. Just one more sin. Keep your eyes closed... I'm right here. Sweet... dreams.
