I lay in bed Trying desperately to go to sleep But the thoughts are running freely through my head Like I'm watching someone fill a cup But it's about to overflow The liquid getting closer to the top It looks like a cup of cocoa I can't stop thinking Ideas, worries, and just plain old thoughts Mixed and melding Until I can no longer focus I tell myself to breathe in breathe out Focus on the sound of the fan Close my eyes and focus on nothing at all Breathe in Breathe out And fall asleep

breathe in breathe out
I lay in bed Trying desperately to go to sleep But the thoughts are running freely through my head Like I'm watching someone fill a cup But it's about to overflow The liquid getting closer to the top It looks like a cup of cocoa I can't stop thinking Ideas, worries, and just plain old thoughts Mixed and melding Until I can no longer focus I tell myself to breathe in breathe out Focus on the sound of the fan Close my eyes and focus on nothing at all Breathe in Breathe out And fall asleep
