Lay Me Down To Sleep

I'm falling behind,
But you'll never know.
There's a lot on my mind 
That I'll never show.
The world keeps spinning faster;
It's out of control.
I'm crazy like disaster
And empty as 
The blackest hole.
Every day I'm lost
And I can't get out;
I can't even tell
Who I am, what I'm about.
But, when I lay down,
Don't make a sound,
Alone inside my bed,
I'm known to clear my head.
'Cause nothing else matters
Anymore;
I close my eyes, I'm with the one,
The one that I adore.
You make my sleep
Come easy baby
And you don't know,
But I am dreaming
Maybe,
   Maybe,
       Maybe...
