A Cautious Repose

Sleep is often the answer
When you're burdened by the pieces
That never seem to fit
Just a little break for dreaming
A few hours to help you forget

Sleep comes harder on occasion
You can't seem to find a good way to unwind
That's when you need some lovin'
A few hours to help you forget

Standing between what's real and what's me
Finding inspiration in a false remedy

Sleep has always been the reason
For swallowing up and regretting
The loss of the moments we've spent
Basking in the sheen of our dreams
The lines we've crossed to mend our past
Are severed once again
