Last Night When I Tried To Sleep
THE DAY’S AWAKE AT LEAST AN HOUR EVERY NIGHT ; IT TAKES MY HAND AND TWISTS MY ARM ; A SIMPLE SOLID TRUTH THAT PAVES ITS WAY TO HARM ; SENDS THE DAYLIGHT THROUGH MY PALM ; IT MAY APPEAR TO YOU THAT EVERYTHING IS BROKEN ; BUT IT HAS ALWAYS BEEN APART ; AND EACH DISASTROUS RECOLLECTION OF THE PAST ; SENDS THE DAYLIGHT THROUGH YOUR HEART ; LAST NIGHT WHEN I TRIED TO SLEEP ; I FELT WITH MY FINGERTIPS… ; …THE OCEAN ; IT TAKES SO FUCKING LONG FOR ANYTHING TO HAPPEN ; I COULD HAVE DIED AND STARTED OVER AGAIN ; THE CHOKING THROAT SEEMS TO ENJOY THE WAY YOU STRANGLE ; AS THE COLORS FADE AWAY ; YOU DON’T APPRECIATE THE THINGS THAT YOU’VE BEEN GIVEN ; YOU FIND IT HARD TO STAY AWAKE ; AT LEAST THE NIGHT IS DARK AND SO WE ARE FORGIVEN ; FOR THE ERRORS THAT WE MAKE ; LAST NIGHT WHEN I TRIED TO SLEEP ; I FELT WITH MY FINGERTIPS… ; …THE OCEAN ; IT’S NEVER EVEN CLOSE TO WHAT YOU REALLY WANTED;
