Lyric discussion by Roontang 

Cover art for New Moon lyrics by Swallow The Sun

Camter hit the nail on the head. Just to elaborate on what's already been said, the lines "No one can read the signs of these eyes. The prayer of escape, I will never heal" suggest that the narrator/victim is bedridden in a sort of vegetable or comatose state. Their body is immobile, but their mind functions as normal. As they cannot express their will to die, their only hope is that the night will take away their life, and by morning the suffering and agony will have ceased.
