Sleep

In the middle of the bed 

Lies a man and he says

He’s afraid of going to sleep 

 

As if the thoughts he could have, 

when sinking away in a bed, 

where no one else lays

Could rise up with the beast in the head, 

with all the tears that didn’t shed, 

because he’s a searcher for cause

 

A cane to walk towards the fire

Virgin mary please guide him

He has nothing left to fear

For in hell he's been already

 

Could rise up with the beast in the head, 

with all the tears that didn’t shed, 

because he’s a searcher for cause

Deep, deep, deep away, 

he doesn’t  want to rise up the mind—

fear for the sight there

 

He was once a lucky one

With a  love to balance out his hurt

But man got jealous and so it turns

The love into a burden

 

Deep, deep, deep away,

he doesn’t  want to rise up the mind—

fear for the sight there

Sleep won’t come today,

sleep didn’t come the day before

Nostalgia eats away at

the life that he has left
