lyrics

I tried to fall asleep
I tried to count in sheep
I couldn’t do it

The static of the day
Remaining in some way
That kept me lucid

Oh
I can be so quiet
Barely lifting up a finger
But my thoughts are too
Dismissive of the night

The heavier my
Eyes became the
More I prized that
Silent rhythm

But slumber has to fight
A conscious restless mind
In spite of comfort

Oh

Silence is the product of the
readily accepted time for rest
I can’t grapple with that quiet

I tried to hear the sea
Be mindful of my breathing
In the moment

But silence kept me up
Evading my best plot
To try and fool it

So I’ll just think in insomnolence
Listen to myself, listen to myself

Dream about my earthly freedoms
Listen to myself, listen to myself

Scoff at those who sleep so easy
Listen to myself, listen to myself

Dream of things like that

Shush,
Stop,
Calm,
Breath,
Drift,
Rest,
Wake,
What?

Why does it have to be so quiet
I can’t slip into rest
Overwrought by the mess
Of my thoughts unconscious

Pinch me!
(why does it have to be so quiet)

I can’t
Resolve
Quiet
Control
I can’t
Pass this quiet

I can’t
Resolve
Quiet
Control
I can’t
Rest with quiet
