Sleep On

sleep on.

2am is well upon us

the black night air has captured me

I am too awake to notice

that my whole world is but a dream

I gasp at the sudden realization

everything is becoming clear to me

I lie not awake, seeking slumber-

but sleep, for my whole life is but a dream

screams-and dire hopes of waking,

are all drowned out by my TV
words I've read they try to break me
songs I've heard they try to shake me
from this sleep they hope to wake me

are all drowned out so easily

In fact they lull me more to sleep

sleep on-for my whole world is but a dream.
