Sleep

by Boss' Daughter

I'll come home and lie in bed for weeks Until I finally fall asleep and dream Everything's turned out okay I don't need you You don't need me I'm fine asleep I'll stay asleep But I'm trying to leave Reno now Again I'm back and just as down I'll wake up on the day Two years have quickly passed away And nothing's changed Except that you have moved away We'll probably never be okay And I'm still here Forever here But I'm going to leave again Drunken smiles with my friends Because it's the only thing I know how to do But at some point it's got to come to an end I'll come home and lie in bed for weeks Until I finally fall asleep and dream Everything's turned out okay I don't need you You don't need me I'm fine asleep I'll stay asleep But I'm trying to leave Reno now Again I'm back and just as down Thought I could find someone to embrace Maybe in a better place And I don't need you You don't need me I'm fine asleep I'll stay asleep

Laying with the lights on Running through my head I didn't drink enough To slow it down inside And if she is out there I hope to find her soon Take me away from this lonely brain That's missing you Twelve ounces To forget What we said I can't think about it Someday will I complete All the pages in this book It took years to fill the last With ebbs and flows I never crossed out words I used to have direction Now I've deleted the past Too many times to remember Twelve ounces To forget What you said I can't sleep about it How many lonely nights like this one will it take To fill these pages with memories willfully erased? Twelve ounces To forget What I said

There are some times out on the road When you think about your home And then you start to miss your friends Those miles never seem to end But then the show starts You're starting to get drunk You realize this is what you live for And you remember to have fun Because if this is not fun Then what's the point in trying Might as well give up On these dreams that are dying But it's you my friends Who keep me coming around So let's get drunk When I come to your town There are some times out on the road When you think about your home And then you start to miss your friends Those miles never seem to end But then the show starts You're starting to get drunk You realize this is what you live for And you remember to have fun Because if this is not fun Then what's the point in trying Might as well give up On these dreams that are dying But it's you my friends Who keep me coming around So let's get drunk Wake up in the morning and feel shitty We've got to drive to the next city Because it's our job to get drunk With another fucking awesome group of friends I know that this is still fun So I will keep on trying Never will give up On these dreams until I'm dying So let's party my friends And I'll keep coming around So we can get drunk When I come to your town

Sleep 02:34
Today I suppress the same thoughts As two hundred or so others In perfect synchronization Will this be the end of it all We walk on, we sit down Some take drugs, others sleep I know we had that thought I know we had the same thought We had the same thought I often have this recurring dream I am running as planes fall from the sky Planes of all kinds, big or small Attempt to crash into me I can run but they can see I guess it doesn't feel like kamikaze I don't remember one ever actually killing me But it's horrific It's horrific I'll awake in a cold sweat I'll awake in a cold sweat I'll get sick again Everything spins around And I will sleep again Keep puking Keep sleeping Keep puking Keep sleeping Keep sleeping Keep sleeping I'll awake in a cold sweat

Weak Week 03:45
Getting lost in nostalgia again I put on the records that bring me back to that place If I could only open my eyes to the inspiration I don't eat enough It's a bed with no sheets No comfort without the warmth I'll drink this one for you But it's the last one It's our first drink of the year It drops off of my face on to your strings We will have a smoke and sing along with sad songs These old dead strings resonate deeply tonight I hope you're lying next to him Thinking about what we could have been I'm drinking alone again You told me you loved me I never told you why I couldn't respond for months I could never repay you for the years of support Sleep is for the week Maybe that's why I can't lift this pen Always you in my brain stabbing at my memory I'd rather sleep all week Sleep is for the week I'd rather sleep all week It's our first drink of the year It drops off of my face on to your strings We will have a smoke and sing along with sad songs These old dead strings resonate deeply tonight
