Maybe if I go to sleep,
then my mind will rest.
It's wide awake and won't shut up,
though I've tried my best.
To silence thoughts inside my head
is harder than it should be.
My emotions drown my logic out,
oh, dark rest come quickly.
Close my eyes and tuck me in,
wrap me in the night.
Filter through the loudest thoughts,
let quiet win the fight.
Once the night is tangled up
inside my weary head,
maybe then I'll get some sleep
and wake up in a silent bed.
