My body
Is failing me
It's hard to stay awake
Hard for me to breathe
Most of all
It's hard for me to sleep
Part of me
Wants to remember
What it's like to dream
So I sleep my life away
In wait
For the images to start to play
And dance inside my head
So realistic
That it won't make sense
If this is a dream
Or reality
I want to escape
From the things I face
From day to day
By resting in my bed
Warm
Soft
Comfort
I want to get lost
Inside my head
In a distant universe
Parallel to the life I lead
Something quite opposite
Of this routine

My body
Is failing me
It's hard to stay awake
Hard for me to breathe
Most of all
It's hard for me to sleep
Part of me
Wants to remember
What it's like to dream
So I sleep my life away
In wait
For the images to start to play
And dance inside my head
So realistic
That it won't make sense
If this is a dream
Or reality
I want to escape
From the things I face
From day to day
By resting in my bed
Warm
Soft
Comfort
I want to get lost
Inside my head
In a distant universe
Parallel to the life I lead
Something quite opposite
