Sleep

I was late for the wrong reasons
all borders and no light
god is a nothing phantom and a pocket light
cause it's late for the one reason
The sun was up all night
and I put my arms around you
but to hold you tight
on and on and on and on
someone has to have sleep for me
or is it all just letters and poems
on and on and on and on and on
someone has to sleep for me
or is it all just letters and poems
people unite for the wrong reasons
these borders hold no light
cause god is a nothing phantom and a pocket light
cause I stayed for the one reason
the sun was up all night
and I put your arms around you
but to hold you tight
on and on and on and on
someone has sleep for me
or is it all just letters and poems
on and on and on and on
someone has too much sleep for me
or is it all just letters and poems
on and on and on and on
someone has sleep for me
or is it all just letters and poems
on and on and on and on and on
someone has too much sleep for me
or is it all just letters and poems
