Cease to Breathe

If I close my eyes will I fall asleep?
If I close my eyes will you follow me?

Sleep doesn't come easily: razors and lightning shoot neatly
Throughout my broken body - dreaming of getting through this
Through this

If I fall asleep will I cease to breathe?
If I fall asleep will you be with me?

Shallow breaths in silence, i hear my lungs contract
Expansion out of consciousness, decisions to repeat, repeat

If I cease to breathe
Will I wake myself up again?
Oh will I wake myself again?

No repetition nor petition they continue on their own
Slip into sleep with the trust that i'll see another morning

So I go to my hill in the hills
And I look to the floor
For escape out the door
Light a match on the lake take my hand to the curb
Do you understand now? Do you understand now?
Take a stand
Take my hand
Hold me down by the brow
Do you understand now? Do you understand now?

If I close my eyes will I fall asleep?
If I close my eyes will you follow me?

No repetition nor petition they continue on their own
