Sing Me to Sleep

[Verse 1]
I've been awake for hours
Or maybe it's been days
Running hot, I'm drifting
See the smoke clouds in my wake
I need a heart attack
To rest this weary mind
I need a chain reaction
Something that might bind me

[Verse 2]
We cannot stop these feelings
They've been with us since birth
Each generation's question:
How do we measure worth?
We used our skin as canvas
To mark the passing time
We learned to read the stars
For the trouble close behind

[Chorus]
(That's why I ask you to)
Sing
Sing me to sleep
When the dawn breaks
I want to be deep
Sing
Sing me to sleep
If the bough breaks
What can we keep?

[Verse 3]
There was a moment, fleeting
When I first learned your name
I may have known the sunrise
But I never knew the flame
You were the heart attack
That arrived just on time
To start the chain reaction
When you put your hand in mine

[Chorus]
(That's why I ask you to)
Sing
Sing me to sleep
When the dawn breaks
I want to be deep
Sing
Sing me to sleep
If the bough breaks
What can we keep?
