In this big room people stir 
Soundly sleeping one by one 
For this moment all is gone 
 
One moment at least feel peace when asleep 
Down one little pill and your drifting down deep 
 
Close your eyes and let it go 
Drift away nice and slow 
The fear inside you disappears  
when youre asleep no-one hears 
Not even you 
 
No painful movie scenes 
No scary magazines 
No torture no re-living 
The pain you have been given 
 
Calm peaceful sleep is all I pray 
Please help me somehow find away 
Morning breaks, birds flutter and sing 
What will this day promise to bring 
I hope to go home and get back on track 
And recover this traumatic hidden attack
