Sleep

I spend some nights beating back all my defeats
Other nights I lie watching my failure on repeat
And I fight with myself because I see the time
And I know she'll never know days
Like these long days of mine
Keeping time as I go
Every truth in my keep
I will reap what I sow
In my sleep
In my sleep
I spend some nights playing my hand
Nine steps ahead
All the right ways that I might succeed
And the wrong paths I dread
And I know one more drink
It won't help me down
So I'll slide back the gloves round my fists
As I beat those dogs down
Keeping time as I go
Digging out from the deep
I will reap what I sow
In my sleep
In my sleep
I'll be fine
I'll own my days
And mistakes I've made
And I'll resign
To who I am
And the best man
That you want me to be
I spend some nights tracing
The best things I've made
Looking back on those difficult wins
And those good deeds repaid
And they all say, my god
Look at the man you've become
But they can't see the blood on my feet
From the roads that I've run
Keeping time as I go
Digging out from the deep
I will reap what I sow
In my sleep
