The Beauty of Being Asleep
I am perfect here,
Nothing goes wrong,
No doubt or fear,
Feels like a song,
Ecstasy flows freely through me,
Due to your all consuming proximity,
You block out the pain I want to forget,
That’s why I get trapped inside your net,
I don’t care, however, for the concern,
I’ll return every night because I yearn,
For the dreamland escape that keeps me high
So I can ignore my life that’s passing me by
My allure to sleep is toxic, I know
But what can I say, it’s pure as snow
That’s what actually attracted me
The numbing effect it has on my insanity
So will I ever get better?
Most likely not
Yet it’s still beautiful
And it’s all I got
