Sleep evades me like the plague
I’ve got rotten dreams in this bed
And all these thoughts seem to just dance
But its reality that’s got no happenstance

Everything seems so much more simple in the sun
But the fading light renews my fears
Peace is such a fickle friend
But I renew my hope in it again

Its when I need sleep most, that sleep doesn’t come
Taunting me from a safe distance, I reach out
Grasping at billows and air
My hands lie bare

Thoughts are like a dark poison
Seeping into your brain
Wreaking havoc on every process
Like a tiny imposter

I lie back, and let the rhythms flow
Picking up the beats from high to low
Allowing steady tracks to be my guide
Its in these thoughts I’m tested, i’m tried.
