If only

Always the sleepless dreamer.

It's the dreamers that can never fall asleep. 

The ones with the high hopes 

the ones with broken hearts. 

 

the ones who want to

escape reality. 

The ones 

who cry when the moon peaks.

who pray when their hearts are heavy.

The ones

who will never be good enough

the ones

who's shoulders ache from the burdens they carry

If only they can close their eyes

without their past clenching on their stiff legs

"Let me go" the dreamers pray

with tired eyes and trembling hands

with lonely lips and icy feet

as the clock ticks and hours pass

with angry minds and grinding teeth they pray and pray

"If only..."

In my mind I heard music playing in the background while I was reading. Your words could be easily reorganized into a song - something acoustic that builds:

[Chorus]
"Let me go!" the dreamers pray
with tired eyes and trembling hands raised
"Let me go!" the dreamers pray
as the clock ticks and hours pass away
