When I sleep my body heavies It sinks into the ground It merges with the earth And I become one with the sound I become the words the tongue When saying 'I Love You' I become an importance that can't be replaced My presence is irreplaceable and impossible to ignore When I sleep my breath matches my heart rate Slowing as I fall So when it spikes again And morning light rises I morn the loss of my importance The the need for me disappears So my choices are minimal I can either never sleep Or never wake up

I don't want to sleep
When I sleep my body heavies It sinks into the ground It merges with the earth And I become one with the sound I become the words the tongue When saying 'I Love You' I become an importance that can't be replaced My presence is irreplaceable and impossible to ignore When I sleep my breath matches my heart rate Slowing as I fall So when it spikes again And morning light rises I morn the loss of my importance The the need for me disappears So my choices are minimal I can either never sleep Or never wake up
