SWEET SLEEP
(Sherri Mullen/Shane Mullen Copyright ©2010)
I haven't slept in seven days - I’m mostly alive but barely awake
I can not shake these images that fill my head
I haven't slept in seven days-I’m mostly alive but barely awake
I lay awake, waiting in this empty bed
Hallucinating, need sedating
Tossing and turning
Eyes red and burning
I don't know what else I can do
Wish I knew wish I knew wish I knew wish I knew
Ahhhhh
My mind's so erratic
Caught up in the static
Reality slips away
As night turns to day
(CHORUS)
Body shutting down
Head still spinning round
Won't let me sleep
Sleep sleep sleep SWEET SLEEP
Sleep sleep sleep SWEET SLEEP
I haven’t slept in seven nights - I' m mostly awake but I’m barely alive
My eyelids tense, then flutter like a butterfly
Can’t make these voices quiet down-can’t take these unrelenting shouts
Silent screams, no one but me can hear its cry
Sweating and shaking, bending breaking
Tricking my brain
To ignore it's refrain
My breathing starts to slow
Just let go just let go just let go just let go
Ahhhhh
My minds so electric
Frantic and hectic
Reality slips away
As night turns to day
(REPEAT CHORUS)
Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh – ahhhhhhhhhhh…
Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh – ahhhhhhhhhhh…
(REPEAT CHORUS)
