Rolling back and forth every time I'm awake from my sleep
Reaching for something that at one time used to be
It's either hot or cold, no in between
I'll still cover it all up hoping to get some sort of relief
All at once rushing to my head
Punched in the face with all my regret
Deep breath, you're fine
It was just a dream
I'm so tired of my dreams feelings like reality
Every single day living with these things
I want to get away, but this aching in my body rings
Transparency has never been so visible, looking in the mirror
I am not alright, never seen it more clear
Snap out of it, go on with your day
You're just tired, you're completely okay
At least that's all that is spewing out of your mouth when in need of an excuse
Losing sleep over this, isn't something you choose to do
Relying on faith that it will go away
That one day you'll sleep fine, wake up with a smile
Boosted with motivation and a confidence so tangible
Knowing happiness is something that can be manageable
