Only when I close my eyes to sleep Do I find a bit of peace. A slice of peace A smidgen of peace A hint of peace A piece of peace. No, who am I kidding? I find no peace in sleep. I find my peace in a chemical solution A narcotic dilution That I bang into my veins That I slam into my brain. No, I find no peace in sleep. I find no peace in sleep. I find, No, Peace, In, Sleep.

No Peace
Only when I close my eyes to sleep Do I find a bit of peace. A slice of peace A smidgen of peace A hint of peace A piece of peace. No, who am I kidding? I find no peace in sleep. I find my peace in a chemical solution A narcotic dilution That I bang into my veins That I slam into my brain. No, I find no peace in sleep. I find no peace in sleep. I find, No, Peace, In, Sleep.
This piece was written during some of the darkest days in which I was addled with a vicious addiction to ****** In it I was trying to capture, in a simple way, the hell my life had become. Again this one, as most of my works tend to be, was originally conceived as a spoken word piece. However, I think this one actually may be stronger in it's written form. As always, constructive critique, and criticism are always welcome.
