Sleeping is my safe haven
Not for the reasons you may think though
Daylight rots me from the outside, in
All the chaos is subdued for a while

Sleep is now my oasis
Not for the reasons you may think though
Dreams revive me from the inside, out
All my worries are washed away

Sleeping is my safe haven
Not for the reasons you may think though
I get to be free,
Get to just be unneeded
Not forced to respond to anything

I'm allowed to be a kid,
Something I haven't been
For quite some time
And I realize how much I miss it

Sleep is my oasis
I just lay down
And all the horns and bells go mute and I listen to the crickets
And I can just be gone from the nightmare in which I live in and call my life
