Insomniac’s Lullaby

If I fall asleep
In danger of dreaming all these thoughts unsaid
Strangers even to me
I can't invite into them into our bed

Why can't I sleep in the nighttime with you
I just lie, sometimes cry in the nighttime with you

If I just do my time
Here in solitary where time slowly dies
Maybe all will be fine
Nothing broken when you open your eyes

Why can't I sleep in the nighttime with you
I just lie, sometimes cry in the nighttime with you

I go for a walk on neon-lit streets
And listen for the drag of insomniacs' feet
But then I go home and slip back under sheets
With you

If I could change my mind
This would all be good enough
Settle for sleep of some kind
Only in dreams dare I want too much

Why can't I sleep in the nighttime with you
I just lie, sometimes cry in the nighttime with you
