Today I Will Sleep With the Light On

Today I will sleep with the light on
The dark in my mind doesn't want to see any more dark

Today I will sleep with the light on
I have to block my mind from thinking. ..anymore

Today I want to sleep with the light on
And not see the shadows in the dark
I don't want to feel any ants crawling on me

I want to sleep in the light and wake up in the light 
I want to wake up to the beating of my heart, ready to make another record for the day
