Sleep

Cover me with your blanket

Get me out of this world

For a spell

Take me away

To the world of dreams

Where I'm not afraid of silence

Where I'm not afraid to think

I'm not so stupid I can't see

There's nothing up ahead of me

I'm not so stupid I don't know

About all of the wrong roads

The wrong roads

Sleep

Cover me with your blanket

Somehow I always knew

I would not make it

I'm the sum of my mistakes

I've only got myself to blame

But what's on show

Do I want any of it anyway?

Sleep

Can there only be

One ending

One end for me

Unsure and shy

It was easier not to try

Now I'm feeling lost and old

And that there's nowhere left to go

I'm forever seeing

Myself running

Heading for the horizon

Escaping, escaping

The choices

I have made

I chose this place

Sleep

Take

Away
