Sleep Is My Drug

Sleep is my drug All I want to do is sleep All I ever am is tired Tired of the things I reap Never to be at all inspired. But my bed is so kind to me It takes me as I am Even if I may be dirty It lends to me a helping hand. And as I lay, I think I fantasize for a moment My troubles soon begin to shrink In my bed I'm not so broken. As I sleep I can Pretend so hard That I'm a different man With someone there for me guard. Sleep makes me feel Like what I want is right there Laying beside me. She doesn't speak She doesn't have a name But I can kiss her cheek And love her just the same. She loves me too She wants to see me happy She's the only one who Can make me feel so happy. Please don't take me from this place I want to stay in her embrace Let me pretend to feel loved I need this feeling, to be loved. But I wake up every day I get a tear in my eye As my love goes away And then I feel I'd rather die My will to live evaporates I decide I'll go to sleep Never to wake up again I take a knife from up my sleeve And hatch away my veins So I can be with her again. Forever. 10/7/19
