ALL FOR SOME SLEEP
Sing me to sleep,
Make me forget all the secrets that I keep.
Wish me to sleep,
Free me from the thousand battles
I fight in me for some peace.
Put me to sleep,
Stay beside me
Till I fall in deep.
The restless nights,
The agonizing screams,
The Sudden frights,
The struggle to breathe,
And the relentless dreams
That drags the dark so long
I've now begun to get fed up of em all.
I've gotten Sick of feeling so vulnerable
And getting wearied out by these late night wars.
Say,
All I want is a sleep that lasts,
Is all I want too much to ask???
