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
