-Ode To Sleep-

I wake up fine and dandy but then by the time I find it handyTo rip my heart apart and startPlanning my crash landingI go up, up, up, up, up to the ceilingThen I feel my soul start leavingLike an old man's hair recedingI'm pleading, please, oh pleaseOn my knees repeatedly askingWhy it's got to be like thisIs this living free?I don't wanna be the one be the one to have the sun's blood on my handsI'll tell the moonTake this weapon, forged in darknessSome see a pen, I see harpoon

I'll stay awake'Cause the dark's not taking prisoners tonightWhy am I not scared in the morning?I don't hear those voices callingI must have kicked them outI must have kicked them outI swear I heard demons yellingThose crazy words they were spellingThey told me I was goneThey told me I was gone

But I tell 'emWhy won't you let me goDo I threaten all your plans?I'm insignificantPlease tell 'emYou have no plans for meI will set my soul on fireWhat have I become, I'll tell 'em all

On the eve of a day that's forgotten and fakeAs the trees, they await, and clouds anticipateThe start of a day when we put on our faceA mask that portrays that we don't need graceOn the eve of a day that is bigger than usBut we open our eyes, cause we're told that we mustAnd the trees wave their arms and the clouds try to pleadDesperately yelling, there's something we needI'm not free, I asked forgiveness three timesSame amount that I denied, I three-time MVP'd this crimeI'm afraid to tell you who I adoreWon't tell you who I'm singing towardsMetaphorically, I'm a whore, and that's denial number four

I'll stay awake'Cause the dark's not taking prisoners tonight oh oh ohWhy am I not scared in the morning?I don't hear those voices callingI must have kicked them outI must have kicked them outI swear I heard demons yellingThose crazy words they were spellingThey told me I was goneThey told me I was gone

But I tell 'emWhy won't you let me goDo I threaten all your plans?I'm insignificantPlease tell 'emYou have no plans for meI will set my soul on fireWhat have I become?I tell 'em

You have no plans for meI will set my soul on fireWhat have I become?I tell 'emI tell 'emI tell 'emI tell 'em

Please tell 'emYou have no plans for meI will set my soul on fireWhat have I become?I'm sorry
