Go to Bed

It's like a monster
Wakes me up in the night
By the side of my bed
To put words in my head
Or a mirror
Who's reflection unveils
The secret of life
And why we keep living

My plans are overtaken and my life overthrown

If there was a picture
Of a steep cold mountain
Exactly to scale
A gold idol to Baal
How many words
Would that picture create
If given the chance
What would it relate?

Well you don't understand now do you

My head is on fire, but I won't go to sleep
My dreams are more vivid
Than the chains that you keep
Close at hand to reel you in
If it gets too far out of hand
Just know I've got to go, so sleep tight- go to bed

To slowly sift through
And then to contemplate
The memories in my brain
Fog with flashes of pain
Then to recall
All my overshadowed victories
Messages as bleak
As overbearing failure

My plans are overtaken
And my life overthrown
My resolve is shaken
My desire lost at home
But you don't understand now, do you...

You don't know what to say
I don't know what to say
But I would not have it any other way
