Ode to sleep

I wake up fine and dandy but then by the time I find it handy,
To rip my heart apart and start planning my crash landing,
I go up, up, up, up, up to the ceiling,
Then I feel my soul start leaving, like an old man´s hair receding,
I´m pleading please, oh please on my knees repeatedly asking,
Why it´s got to be like this, is this living free,
I don´t want to be the one, be the one who has the son´s blood on my hands,
I´ll tell the moon, take this weapon forged in darkness,
Some see a pen, I see a harpoon.
I´ll stay awake, ´cause the dark´s not taking prisoners tonight.
Why am I not scared in the morning,
I don´t hear those voices calling,
I must have kicked them out,
I must have kicked them out,
I swear I heard demons yelling,
Those crazy words they were spelling,
They told me I was gone,
They told me I was gone.
But I´ll tell them,
Why won´t you let me go?
Do I threaten all your plans?
I´m insignificant.
Please tell them you have no plans for me.
I will set my soul on fire, what have I become?
I´ll tell them!
On the eve of a day that´s forgotten and fake,
As the trees they await and clouds anticipate,
The start of a day when we put on our face,
A mask that portrays that we don´t need grace,
On the eve of a day that is bigger than us,
But we open our eyes ´cause we´re told that we must,
And the trees wave their arms and the clouds try to plead,
Desperately yelling there´s something we need,
I´m not free, I asked forgiveness three times,
Same amount that I denied, I three-time mvp´ed this crime,
I´m afraid to tell you who I adore, won´t tell you what I´m singing towards,
Metaphorically I´m a whore, and that´s denial number four.
I´ll stay awake, ´cause the dark´s not taking prisoners tonight.
Why am I not scared in the morning,
I don´t hear those voices calling,
I must have kicked them out,
I must have kicked them out,
I swear I heard demons yelling,
Those crazy words they were spelling,
They told me I was gone,
They told me I was gone.
But I´ll tell them,
Why won´t you let me go?
Do I threaten all your plans?
I´m insignificant.
Please tell them you have no plans for me.
I will set my soul on fire, what have I become?
I´ll tell them you have no plans for me.
I will set my soul on fire, what have I become?
I´ll tell them
I´ll tell them
I´ll tell them
I´ll tell them
Please tell them you have no plans for me,
I will set my soul on fire, what have I become?
I´m sorry
