sleep

I wont sleep tonight
and I'll lie there awake
toss and turn every so often
and return back to neutral

And the moon will travel across the sky
The way you traveled across the sea
Stopping to smile every once in a while
and disappearing on the Horizon

The sun will wake you up
but I'm still lying here awake
blinking and squinting
and we'll rise

The clouds will collaborate
play with the birds and the wind
I'll get up and wonder where you've been
its the lack of sleep, the lack of sleep
I'm sorry

So I made a trip to the medicine cabinet
Shuffled through all of the prescriptions
The bottles were falling into the sink left and right
oh Dammit, I made a mess...

not only don't I know what opiates are
I cant sleep
I just want forty winks
I can't sleep
Just make me sleep, Just let me sleep
I don't care if I never wake up
Why does it matter anyway?
I will never wake up next to you
