[Verse 1]
Not feeling any pain
But I know that it's real
Never see the color of the day
In the darkness, I kneel
[Chorus 1]
Praying for sleep
Praying that it will come easy
But there's something else
I see it miles away
[Verse 2]
Don't know what time of year it is
I can't remember the fall
Yet all my strange and simple games
Play out on top of a wall
[Chorus 2]
Praying for sleep
Praying for something so easy
If only the moon
Would have left me alone
