Sleepy

I don’t know why I’m sleepy I don’t know why I cannot sleep My body’s sinking slowly My mind is running far too deep The ceiling starts to breathe The shadows flicker underneath I close my eyes to disappear But every sound is suddenly clear I’m tired, but I’m wide awake Floating in the same mistake Half in heaven, half in blue I keep dreaming without you I don’t know why I’m sleepy I don’t know why I cannot sleep The night is soft and heavy The silence cuts into me Three a.m., the screen still glows Where the time went, no one knows I count the lights across the street Like little stars I’ll never reach I’m tired, but I’m wide awake Floating in the same mistake Half in heaven, half in blue I keep dreaming without you Sleep, sleep Let me fall Sleep, sleep Not at all My eyes are closed My thoughts are loud I’m lying still Above the clouds I don’t know why I’m sleepy I don’t know why I cannot sleep
