Sleep is with the chemical stains
Gnarled hardness in the soft tissue
And sleep is with the obsession strains
A tunnel vision we never cured
My long and detailed daisy chains

Sleep is with his verbose rants
And how much kitty left is there
Sleep is with feeling out
Am I going to care?
Am I vital?
Like am I even there?

Sleep is with knowing i can rock this, but worrying I might forget
Sleep might be just a liiiittle too eccentric
And sleep is with bad bets

Sleep is with bad bets,
Sleep is with you.

On the other side of the mattress,
Sleep is with you...

Just a sliver of the moon
And sleep is with you
You're the thing my heart should have never seen--
A golden vein with blue.

Sleep must be
Somewhere
Out there,
With you.
