Only Sleep

When darkness drown your bleeding heart

And tyrants tear your world apart

And none of it is making sense

It's all mistakes or accidents

We're all just players in a game

The strings are never pulled the same

And I have to make a change right now

But nothing changes anyhow

Or any ways to change today

Seems fucking pointless anyway

And sympathy it runs so deep

And I can't even fall asleep

I'd be abysmal to presume

Solutions to stave off our doom

Yes, I mean our sudden soon to end

Through all these fading times we spend

And when I think away on things I pissed

I'd ask to be writ off your list

No social skills no special price

I can only try to empathize

Good memories held in my hand

Through finger cracks they fall like sand

If only there were some to keep

I'd have to trade them all for sleep

And losing sleep adds so much time

The days can drag my bleeding mind

Into a state of jagged shock

That twists and winds but never stops

And dreams are memories as well

And some of them read just like hell

If your could be my only friend

I'd cherish all the time we spend

And though we're so infrequent now

Our hearts dance somewhere anyhow

So many make our lives seem cheap

And in the end we all must sleep

And endless flaming turning fire

The setting Sun that rises higher

The beautiful bright blinding light

That never quite turns into night

Our hearts can fly up freely there

Our minds can breathe such precious air

To all my fine fair weather friends

Good tidings are all I can send

I forgive you though you never knew

Just what it was you put me through

And to all my enemies the same

Your obsessions kept me in this game

And according to this life I've led

I should have lost more than my head

And on the edge that tilts so steep

I dream awake only of sleep
