Let Me Sleep
How do you sleep with so much in your head
like a train circulating a mountain, full speed
it's hard for you to go to bed
like a victim fighting to be freed
my mind gives me no peace
he lays there so calm, he can not hear the chaos inside me
he breaths in and out like a bear in hibernation
I am awake like the owl at night, wide eyes and darkness surrounding
when I close my eyes my mind is still awake
I am not alone the moon and the stars guide me
darkness begins to disappear, the train trembles to pieces
my head floods with water
i am evaporating into a cloud, perfectly cradling my body
eyes are shut, water flushed the thoughts
earth twirled and another day has begun
when I saw the sun
