Sleep Sugar

Hear your heartbeat
Beat a frantic pace
And it's not even seven AM

You're feeling the rush of anguish settling
You cannot help showing them in

Hurry up then
Or you'll fall behind and
They will take control of you
And you need to heal the hurt behind your eyes
Fickle words crowding your mind

So
Sleep, sugar, let your dreams flood in
Like waves of sweet fire, you're safe within
Sleep, sweetie, let your floods come rushing in
And carry you over to a new morning

Try as you might
You try to give it up
Seems to be holding on fast

It's hand in your hand
A shadow over you
A beggar for soul in your face

Still it don't matter if you won't listen
If you won't let them follow you

You just need to heal
Make good all your lies
Move on and don't look behind

Day after day
Fickle visions
Messing with your head
Sleeping in your bed
Messing with your head
Fickle visions
Fickle, vicious
Sleep sugar

Sleep, sugar, let your dreams flood in
Waves of sweet fire, you're safe within
Sleep, sweetie, let your floods come rushing in
And carry you over to a new morning

Day after day
Day after day
Move on and don't look behind
Hear your heartbeat
Hurry up then
Or you'll fall behind and
Sleep sugar
Sleep sugar
Sleep sugar
