Sleeping At Last

Rows of houses
Sound asleep
Only street lights
Notice me

I am desperate
If nothing else
In a holding pattern
To find myself

I talk in circles
I talk in circles
I watch for signals
For a clue

How to feel different
How to feel new
Like science fiction
Bending truth

No one can unring this bell
Unsound this alarm, unbreak my heart new
God knows, I am dissonance
Waiting to be swiftly pulled into tune

I’ll go anywhere you want
Anywhere you want
Anywhere you want me

I know the further I go
The harder I try, only keeps my eyes closed
And somehow I’ve fallen in love
With this middle ground at the cost of my soul

Yet I know, if I stepped aside
Released the controls, you would open my eyes
That somehow, all of this mess
Is just an attempt to know the worth of my life

…Made of precious metals
Precious metals
Precious metals inside

I’ll go anywhere you want me
