Sleep

Thu, 12/19/2013 - 21:32 -- mika85

The sky wants to sleep,

But no, I don't want to. 

My life is at its peak.

 

There is so much to do,

So may promises to keep,

Too many things to move.

 

How can I live if I cannot choose?

Why do I feel like I have something to prove?

 

Is it because I do,

Or simply because I want to?

 

I have nothing to lose,

But it's all on the line.

 

Lord I need you, not this world

Rescue me from the ashes

I need to feel your arms around me

Through the darkest night

When I look to see the devil's eye's are mine

But, no that's not right cause

I am yours

Give me sleep

 

This world gives me tired eyes,

But I will hold on tight,

Because you're on my side.

 

And by the end of the night, 

You'll give me sleep.

Please give me sleep.

 

I need some sleep.
