Sleep is my way of turning the noise off The constant ringing in my ear getting louder and louder Until I sleep I sleep with the passion to never stop sleeping I don’t want to wake up Yet if I don’t I doubt that anyone will lose sleep When I wake the noise of my thoughts scream into the war that never ends between the “what if’s” and inevitable “when’s” So when I sleep and don’t want up know it was my hope no one would lose sleep Sleep is when the noise stops But for the life of me I can’t remember when the Noise began Maybe in a dream
