Drifting

To think that at falling I used to excel Now there's demons to quell and sentiments to sell To my brain to convince her it's safe to let go On nights when she seems to believe that she clings to a cliff that would drop her To some sort of hell But it's just a pillow - not a cliff just a pillow I would like to fall asleep But I refuse to count the sheep My brain is telling me I'd rather stare into a screen than dream And though I know it isn't true I feel I need a clue or two Have I lost the skill of drifting to my other world in a lovely way? It used to be so easy (Easy, easy) I used to be awake for the moment that I fell It used to be so easy (Easy, easy) I used to be awake for that moment, alive for the moment That I fall asleep, now I refuse to count the goddamn sheep To know that at times I will spend the day waiting for night To return to the warmth and the stillness, the quiet The dark should be simple so why is it not? I'll cry that at times I'm not wise I romanticize lies as I'm lying there too cold, too hot But it's just a place to close my eyes - it's just a place to close my eyes Lately I don't give myself to sleep, it takes me It's a waiting game that I don't play very well, will it break me? And while I'd love to love dark skies, I despise the rise of how I (I despise the rise) Analyze, antagonize, and agonize and alphabetize (Before the fall) Visualize, familiarize, fantasize and fictionalize (Before the fall) Teach me how to tranquilize, teach me how to catch my thoughts and revise (Before the fall) I would like to fall asleep But I refuse to count the sheep My brain is telling me I'd rather stare into a screen than dream And though I know it isn't true I feel I need a clue or two Have I lost the skill of drifting to my other world in a lovely way? It used to be so easy (Easy, easy) I used to be awake for the moment that I fell It used to be so easy (Easy, easy) I used to be awake for that moment, alive for the moment That I fall asleep, now I refuse to count the goddamn sheep Why do I refuse? Why do I refuse?
