I Can't Sleep

I’ve got the notepad by the bedside
I drank the Chamomile tea
To steep my senses in forgetfulness
But endless worries still come seeping through

Chorus:
I can’t sleep
I can’t sleep
Sifting through chores and trouble
that work me over good
And then there’s you
And then there’s you
And then there’s you

I watched a thousand breaths
Flow through in golden light
No matter the hues in which I bathe myself
Their warm wash can’t heal my mind

chorus


I will block you out
I will swallow my knight
I’ll find peace in an empty head
From this tortured day I will descend

chorus

erase the day
I can’t have you dwell here
endlessly
Remove the veil
Between me and you
Sweet sleep
Sweet sleep
Sweet sleep
