lyrics

Sleep

Heartbeats that sound like footsteps in snow on my pillow
Moments which make up hours before I sleep
Will my weary eyes let me spin and fall?
Will my body allow rest at all?

(Moments seem like hours before I can sleep)
Silence is darkness and words are light
Life's scriptures I cannot see
These hours of darkness drag through the night
But sleep will set me free

Beside me I feel my lover's chest slowly rise and fall
Wake and dreams my consciousness fades between
When will my eyes cease this rapid motion?
When will my mind be devoid of emotion?
Will my body allow rest at all?

(Moments seem like hours before I can sleep)
Silence is darkness and words are light
Life's scriptures I cannot see
These hours of darkness drag through the night
But sleep will set me free

These moments of silence are moments of darkness
So open your mind and let me in
