Lullaby

Deep sleep or can't sleep
No inbetween
Pitch black, I've been back
This is no dream
Pinch me, I can't leave
Cause somehow things can get so blurry
Now why you in a hurry
I've been lying on a twin
Suffocating and
Contemplating getting out of bed
Miss my 8am
Lay out my priorities
Shuffle up, won't notice me
Can't distinguish anything, from violent ends to no extreme
I've been counting all the marks I see up on the ceiling
So I can count away the days until I have a feeling
Or have a person that can understand what I've been dealing
Or have a thought about myself that I can find appealing
Heffalumps and buggaboos
Nightmare fuel keep coming through
Parting's such sweet sorrow
Cause tomorrow don't know what to do
I'm scared of you and me
There is no one here, just me
Talk to myself at night but I can't help hear them scream
I hear those

Echoes through the night
Lost and paralyzed
I'll be by your side
Sing this lullaby
Leave your thoughts of dread
Rest your weary head
Safe within your bed

Echoes through the night
Lost and paralyzed
I'll be by your side
Sing this lullaby
You will be alright

Eyes are falling faster than the temperature
10 years to keep my anger down, that's lesson learned
Wrecking my own reputation, self-assured
Now, question first: why waste your time like this?
Thinking 'bout anxiety's not worth a sack of shit
They like "Come down a bit"
I say "I'm out of it"
But the shit that I be dealing be all counterfeit
I've been dreaming of the moment I'll be satisfied
But I'm never to the point I like the sound of it
So I contradict myself
Okay, but I need help
Acknowledge all the wealth
But got no mental health
No sympathy bouquet, no apologetic state
Fuck off with the "now" if I can't find yesterday
If I'm self-aware, does that make things better?
If I know I'm in a dream, could I change the weather?
Sever my heart apart, ripped from my chest
Under duress
Can I get a couple secs?
Can I get a couple secs?

Echoes through the night
Lost and paralyzed
I'll be by your side
Sing this lullaby
Leave your thoughts of dread
Rest your weary head
Safe within your bed

Echoes through the night
Lost and paralyzed
I'll be by your side
Sing this lullaby
We'll be alright

One good night of sleep is all I need
Won't you come rescue me?
One good night of sleep is all I need
Won't you come rescue me?
One good night of sleep is all I need
Won't you come rescue me?
Won't you come rescue me?
Sigh and then I'll rest in peace
