lyrics

Sleeping Song

You'd never know that I could form a complex in my mind
Someone so simple
So could you help me out? I daydream, I dare, I doubt
You can journey and fill me in

It's hard to say I'll be ok
The sun is out but I'm sleeping
The weight of the world has me laid out in bed
I scared away my friends today
I thought it'd help, now I'm sinking
The best things in life seem to have escaped my eyes

It's something I've been dreaming of
A fortune teller in my blood
Foresee me changing bitter luck
Get up, get out, and turn dreaming of
Into being the change I'd like to be

It's hard to say I'll be ok
The sun is out but I'm sleeping
The weight of the world has me laid out in bed
I scared away my friends today
I thought it'd help, now I'm sinking
Everything that I once knew has gone away

It's something I've been dreaming of
A fortune teller in my blood

It's hard to say I'll be ok
The sun is out but I'm sleeping
The weight of the world has me laid out in bed
I scared away my friends today
I thought it'd help, now I'm sinking
Everything that I once knew
