In the quiet hours of the night,
When the world sleeps, I'm locked tight,
With thoughts that twist and turn inside,
A restless heart that can't abide.

I count the stars, but they don't help,
Each one a thought I try to shelve,
But they come back, a haunting breeze,
My mind's a maze, no signs of ease.

My anxious mind, you steal my rest,
Take the peace I once possessed,
Won't you let these eyes close tight?
Let me drift through this endless night.

Pacing halls with shadows long,
I hum the tune of an unwritten song,
But the lyrics fade with every step,
As sleep remains a distant threat.

I chase the dawn, but it's too far,
Stuck in a loop, a broken star,
Waiting for the light to break,
And free my soul from this ache.

My anxious mind, you steal my rest,
Take the peace I once possessed,
Won't you let these eyes close tight?
Let me drift through this endless night.
