Sleep
I can only dream of sleep
But that’s impossible you see
Cause I cant even sleep
To make the makings of a scene
That’s only seen when my eyes are closed
It only seems obscene cause my eyelids wont
And I chalk up another night where I lie awoke
And I invoke the sleeplessness of the later day
And stay awake
My last shred of patience wasted just to wait for day
And the way's been paved
By the sleep drain from the night before
And I implore the sand man to come and save me
To come and slay my thoughts so that I may snore
But that’s impossible you see
Cause I cant even sleep
To make the makings of a scene
That’s only seen when my eyes are closed
It only seems obscene cause my eyelids wont
And I chalk up another night where I lie awoke
And I invoke the sleeplessness of the later day
And stay awake
My last shred of patience wasted just to wait for day
And the way's been paved
By the sleep drain from the night before
And I implore the sand man to come and save me
To come and slay my thoughts so that I may snore
