Last Night When I Tried To Sleep

THE DAY’S AWAKE AT LEAST AN HOUR EVERY NIGHT
IT TAKES MY HAND AND TWISTS MY ARM
A SIMPLE SOLID TRUTH THAT PAVES ITS WAY TO HARM
SENDS THE DAYLIGHT THROUGH MY PALM

IT MAY APPEAR TO YOU THAT EVERYTHING IS BROKEN
BUT IT HAS ALWAYS BEEN APART
AND EACH DISASTROUS RECOLLECTION OF THE PAST
SENDS THE DAYLIGHT THROUGH YOUR HEART
LAST NIGHT WHEN I TRIED TO SLEEP
I FELT WITH MY FINGERTIPS…
…THE OCEAN

IT TAKES SO FUCKING LONG FOR ANYTHING TO HAPPEN
I COULD HAVE DIED AND STARTED OVER AGAIN
THE CHOKING THROAT SEEMS TO ENJOY THE WAY YOU STRANGLE
AS THE COLORS FADE AWAY
YOU DON’T APPRECIATE THE THINGS THAT YOU’VE BEEN GIVEN
YOU FIND IT HARD TO STAY AWAKE
AT LEAST THE NIGHT IS DARK AND SO WE ARE FORGIVEN
FOR THE ERRORS THAT WE MAKE

LAST NIGHT WHEN I TRIED TO SLEEP
I FELT WITH MY FINGERTIPS…
…THE OCEAN

IT’S NEVER EVEN CLOSE TO WHAT YOU REALLY WANTED
