I sway Like on a swing On the brink of sleep My mind carries me motionless And when reality calls It rips me out of my pendulum state Elevates my heart rate Claims my restfulness and Clutches onto the thoughts that I can't seem to lay And as I slowly pry each clawing finger Gentle words soothing over Voices reverberating The two swirl Unfurl Turning to noise Playing in the background As I gradually fall back into a cradle Rocking left to right And right to left On the brink Asleep

Sleep
I sway Like on a swing On the brink of sleep My mind carries me motionless And when reality calls It rips me out of my pendulum state Elevates my heart rate Claims my restfulness and Clutches onto the thoughts that I can't seem to lay And as I slowly pry each clawing finger Gentle words soothing over Voices reverberating The two swirl Unfurl Turning to noise Playing in the background As I gradually fall back into a cradle Rocking left to right And right to left On the brink Asleep
