Sleep

Light cuts every crack, to here you've brought me back
Sun, please go away an let me stay, come back another day
Day bleeds into night, night brings me the fight
Beyond the hue and cry and cooled lights I shut my eyes
For there I can be free
Tonight I'll pray for sleep

Watching the ceiling under warmth these covers bring
Rest, please help me find a place in mind with no worry, without time
Time and hours creep, the world around me sleeps
Beyond the hue and cry and colored lights I shut my eyes
For there I can be free
Tonight I'll pray for sleep

Stuck in automatic my mind is in a panic
Everything is frantic but I'm feeling so static
These thoughts unnerve me that nothing's what it should be
Slumber's all that I need but sleep keeps eluding me
