I suffer from insomnia and used this song as an outlet, so I could try to express how I feel
No sleep for the weary
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I’m waking up before I sleep
That grinding train of rhythmic pain
Too awake in the dead of night
This life is something I just can’t fight
And I never sleep, I never slumber
My heart beat cracks like a strike of thunder
There is no rest, there is no peace
Only time awaits my sweet release
My eyes stay open I'm up all the night
I count the stars bright above my head
Look up still more the stars fall dead
I outlasted now that they have fled
For years upon years I've been chasing sleep
She hides in the house and she starts to creep
She draws me out of dreams now awake
But this emptiness I feel I cannot take
And I smile, and I weep and I find no sleep
And she runs and she hides, can’t she sympathize
Will she stop, will she stay can we be ok?
What is day, what is night, will we be alright?
Try to close my eyes, and lose her sight
She pulls my eyelids open, no sleep for you tonight
Sleep is a love I break you see
I wish she would just come back to me
Sometimes in my bed I see her there
I call her name but she'll never remain
The chase is over and wait for daylight
She sings to me, you'll never sleep at twilight
Watching the sunrise, and another night die
The red dawn approaches, streaking the skies
The colour resembles my bloodshot eyes
And she never hears my midnight cries
And I smile, and I weep and I find no sleep
And she runs and she hides, can’t she sympathize
Will she stop, will she stay can we be ok?
What is day, what is night, will we be alright?
No sheep to count, no thoughts to dream
No energy left for this recurring theme
Her ideas and memories swirl and dance
Keeping me awake with every chance
I lay down trying not to scream
God knows I only want to dream
Oh so many times I pray for rest
And so many times I'm never blessed
The sleepless road is the path I travel
As day becomes night, and night becomes day
The last of darkness has faded away
I fell awake, I know not how
I look for the answers in my pillow now
And I smile, and I weep and I find no sleep
And she runs and she hides, can’t she sympathize
Will she stop, will she stay can we be ok?
What is day, what is night, will we be alright?
And I smile, and I weep and I find no sleep
And she runs and she hides, can’t she sympathize
Will she stop, will she stay can we be ok?
What is day, what is night, will we be alright?
Outside the window, streetlights reflected
I stare at them senseless, slumber rejected.
I turn and I see she is waiting for me
I have found my sleep so peacefully
She is mine to hold, and never let go
Finally my soul in heaven will flow
Please rate this song I wrote. It came from some experiences in my life that weren't all that positive.
Apology
Verse 1: Apology, such a simple thing... It would seem,
But sometimes we dont realize just how much It means,
Sometimes we think, Its not our place to say sorry,
Often we're wrong and Its too late to worry,
Verse 2: Sometimes we do things out of anger or sorrow,
We dont care bout the outcome, or what will It bring us tommorrow,
Then comes regret and finnaly we realize,
No matter what you say or do Its to late to apologize...
Chorus: so just stop!!! Ohhh stop!!!
Put your honor aside, dont feed your pride,
Stand up before them look straight in the eyes,
Look in their eyes... and apologize
Please stop!!! Just stop!!!
dont live a lie, casue times not on your side,
Be true to yourself, speak out your mind,
Dont wait too long casue your chance might be gone,
To even...say goodbye.
