I think to Live—may be a Bliss
To those who dare to try—
Beyond my limit to conceive—
My lip—to testify—

I think the Heart I former wore
Could widen—till to me
The Other, like the little Bank
Appear—unto the Sea—

I think the Days—could every one
In Ordination stand—
And Majesty—be easier—
Than an inferior kind—

No numb alarm—lest Difference come—
No Goblin—on the Bloom—
No start in Apprehension’s Ear,
No Bankruptcy—no Doom—

But Certainties of Sun—
Midsummer—in the Mind—
A steadfast South—upon the Soul—
Her Polar time—behind—

The Vision—pondered long—
So plausible becomes
That I esteem the fiction—real—
The Real—fictitious seems—

How bountiful the Dream—
What Plenty—it would be—
Had all my Life but been Mistake
Just rectified—in Thee

Sleep does not come easy
when I'm not sleeping with you.
I'm so used to doing it
not alone, but part of two.
There's too much room
in this here bed
there's a pillow here
missing your head.
And my heads missing your lips
I can't sleep tonight
not without that goodnight kiss.
The moon looks in my window
watching with empathy I'm sure
she knows this lonesome feeling
her lover too sleeps not with her.
Sad insomniacs
with empty sheets and empty arms
you're somewhere else asleep without me
the thought alone just does me harm.
If I could rearrange the stars like monkey bars
I'd cross this desert straight to you
if I had to dodge through speeding cars
let me tell you, there's not a thing I wouldn't do.
My eyes are growing tired
but my mind is racing with thoughts of you
it won't seem to let me sleep tonight
I think it's trying to run to you too.

Baby, let us sleep now
The world is so quiet
It offers perfect serenity
The bed is ready
The blanket wants to hug us
To bring us to our magical dreams

Let us dream tonight, baby
Let us dream our dreams together
Like it is for real
You and I
To be forever

Yes, let us dream our dreams
Where we are not separated
By time and space
Where we can hold each other
Feel the kisses, the hugs
The love that only our dreams
Could understand

Let us sleep, baby
Let us sleep tonight
Let us dream our dreams
And wake up one day
That the dream is not a dream
But the reality that will bring us
Together...

Forever.

An hour of sleep per day, that's 3
I'm not asking for help, but please
I'm starting to see shadows and I can't tell if it's you
Can't tell if I'm even capable of seeing your hue
Somewhere on a scale of TV gray and simple blue
Gonna need more than shapes, going to need more than a clue

Heavy eyes drag me down
The only thing getting me through are the sounds
They were yours isn't that funny
The lack of Sun today is surprising
Meets my mood in a world where my mind is always running

Heavy eyes drag me down
But ******* trees will set me free
Nothing like the caffeine I get when I look at your face
Nothing like the feeling in my stomach after I finish that case
Momma always told me slow and steady, learn to pace
Sorry ma, her words were laced
And when she kissed me I fell **** faced

Where's the evidence
Help me find the fire
Erase my temper
Exhale the liar

Silence this highway
My ears are bleeding
Can't get anywhere on foot when everybody's driving a car
I'll never get anywhere, all this relativity is way too far

It was better when you never wrote me letters
God's sitting on clouds and chuckling under his breath
Saying isn't it funny how you need her now and she's the one you had to let go, you had to let go because you weren't any better

I'm on my knees, I'm not asking for help, but please
Where's the evidence
Help me find the fire
Erase my temper
Exhale the liar

Rains come
Rains go
The wind blows
And so do Mondays.

I'm sorry
I don't know if its for me
but i fell for it,
your love trap captured me.

Or is it that
I wanted to fall?
for you to catch,
don't leave me to crawl.

I'm sorry
I see you in everything
the sky that cries,
the sun that bids me for the night

I'm sorry
but baby I want to
bombard you with my love
to hold your hand
to kiss you goodnight.

I'm sorry
I can't keep this anymore
You're my comfort, my escape.
My curse, my endeavor

Its a different kind of love
but I still do,
baby, I don't want you;
I need you.

These words I cannot carry
baby, listen to me.
I just want to tell you I'm sorry
*but I'm not sorry.
