Let Me Sleep Forever
A songbird tried to give me this advice
She said if you want it bad enough
You'll make the sacrifice
To kill the things within you you don't like
And shed the tattered skin you wore
To fashion something nice
But if you choose to turn your back again
And ignore the strength you're given
From the voice inside the pen
May mercy place a hold upon your soul
And may you think back to the moment
That you let the beauty go
Do you carry your pain on the inside
Or do you spit it out like venom
To the ones who need it most
Do you live with a hunger for insight
Or do you stand with all the rest
That take advantage of this gift that we call time
I'll give you what I owe
If you can let me go
Look right to my eyes and hold me
Captive to this notion that my
Depths can reach the ocean floor
I hear the raven quoth
It's nevermore
Drive the final nail into
The piece of me that cares for two
But leaves with empty hands
A severance from all the thought
Burdened by the time I've lost
By giving hope the chance
Do you carry your pain on the inside
Or do you spit it out like venom
To the ones who need it most
Do you live with a hunger for insight
Or do you stand with all the rest
That take advantage of this gift that we call time
She said if you want it bad enough
You'll make the sacrifice
To kill the things within you you don't like
And shed the tattered skin you wore
To fashion something nice
But if you choose to turn your back again
And ignore the strength you're given
From the voice inside the pen
May mercy place a hold upon your soul
And may you think back to the moment
That you let the beauty go
Do you carry your pain on the inside
Or do you spit it out like venom
To the ones who need it most
Do you live with a hunger for insight
Or do you stand with all the rest
That take advantage of this gift that we call time
I'll give you what I owe
If you can let me go
Look right to my eyes and hold me
Captive to this notion that my
Depths can reach the ocean floor
I hear the raven quoth
It's nevermore
Drive the final nail into
The piece of me that cares for two
But leaves with empty hands
A severance from all the thought
Burdened by the time I've lost
By giving hope the chance
Do you carry your pain on the inside
Or do you spit it out like venom
To the ones who need it most
Do you live with a hunger for insight
Or do you stand with all the rest
That take advantage of this gift that we call time
