Sleeping in I never liked
When I was a spirited kid

I was too anxious for the day
For new memories to begin

Now I look back and wonder
How sleep became my solace

When did it all change?
When did I learn to fear?

It used to be the unconsious trap
That I wished I could avoid

Now I yearn daily for it
I'm addicted to its silent comfort

To take a break from it all
Believing morning will bring change

There are chances of new memories
Ones that aren't so happy, that I fear

I don't want them
I don't want them stuck with me

I can handle my life now
But I'm afraid of what may come

When my past catches  up
Fulfilling the possibilities I've denied

Too many thoughts swirling in my head
It's exhausting

Sleep, please come rescue me
Keep me okay for now
