Just Let Me Sleep

Sun filters through the cold glass
On a vibrant mid-year day
The fog has burned off at last
And dark emotions drift away
-
Deep in the soul they manifest
Threatening any sense of pride
Light above will give them rest
Until we're clean inside
-
Is this what the world feels when they sleep
I guess haven't slept well lately
As the sand weighs down my eyes
I want to keep the light outside...
-
The shadow cast by my inner workings
Blinds me to the light everyone sees
Frustrated despite my searching
I just find talking heads on my screens
-
The sun filters through my window pane
On another darkened day
I've heard the mist isn't always the same
But to me the fog never goes away
-
Is this what the world feels when they sleep
I guess haven't slept well lately
As the sand weighs down my eyes
I want to keep the light outside...
I really just want to sleep
Why can't I turn my mind off lately?
The sand stays in my eyes
Even though I keep the light outside.
-
I really just want to sleep
Why can't I just close my eyes
Turn off my mind
And let the world pass by
I really just want to sleep
Why can't I turn my mind off lately?
The sand stays in my eyes
Even though I keep the light outside.
I really just want to sleep
Just let me sleep
I just want to sleep
Just let me sleep
I really just want to sleep
