Sleep
Creaky floorboards, they don’t get me up
Light from the bathroom doesn’t wake me
I am content here in my world made of
The pretty, pretty make believe
Sleep, rescue me
From all of my un-becomings
And all of my under-realised
Dreams, make me believe
The nightmares all lie with the waking
Oblivion is for the taking
In sleep
Growing up is teaching me to see
The ticking time bomb of my body
My mother taught me to believe
But I’m not who I thought that I’d be
Sleep, rescue me
From all of my un-becomings
And all of my under-realised
Dreams, make me believe
The nightmares all lie with the waking
Oblivion is for the taking
In sleep
