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
