Songs About / On: SLEEP

Now that mountains of meaningless words
and oceans divide us
And we each have our own set of stars
to comfort and guide us
Come into my sleep
Come into my sleep, oh yeah
Dry your eyes and do not weep
Come into my sleep

Swim to me through the deep blue sea
upon the scattered stars set sail
Fly to me through this love-lit night
from one thousand miles away
And come into my sleep
Come into my sleep oh yeah
As midnight nears and shadows creep
Come into my sleep

Bind my dreams up in your tangled hair
For I am sick at heart, my dear
Bind my dreams up in your tangled hair
For all the sorrow it will pass, my dear

Take your accusation, your recriminations
and toss them into the ocean blue
Leave your regrets and impossible longings
and scatter them across the sky behind you
And come into my sleep
Come into my sleep
For my soul to comfort and keep
Come into my sleep

For my soul to comfort and keep - my sleep

Come on,
Come on,
Come on,
[repeat and fade] read more »

Was in your arms

A sudden mourning
Crashed in the room
With an uninvited sudden change in you read more »

One more time you will laugh about it
And he’ll never try to give you more
And I don’t care, he is such a dick
Treats you like you are a stupid whore read more »

She swims the secret sea of sleeps cocoon
Its soothing hands caress her dreams, she breathes

She holds but light burns the day read more »

Now I lay me down not to sleep
I just get tangled in the sheets
I swim in sweat three inches deep
I just lay back and claim defeat read more »

We’re nowhere in particular
We’re nowhere, nowhere at all
So fill my cup, make me happen
Fill it up, make me smile
Fill my cup, give me a reason
A reason to feel alright read more »

Once upon a time I used to be alive,
