Sleep Stress

Based on everything I've ever heard
You were reaching with an open hand you never deserved
Speak with absent feeling
Too close to comprehend

Based on everything I've ever heard
You tried to turn away from me
So casually
Afraid to shed your apathy
Blank expressions on your pillow case
And talking about better days
With nothing to lose

My only accomplishment
Was watching you dance with him
And seeing your eyes meet the ceiling

Make your way to the quietest part of town
Pay attention while his interests drown you out
No way to compromise
You feign a smile and reach for the dirt
On the verge of sleep
When will you find peace?
When will you find peace?

Am I just a joke to you?
Lifeless and overused

Beat down and weathered
A fragile figurine flailing for substance
While everyone mocks it
Baseless and heavy
Although your heart is resilient to pressure
When life won't get better

Am I a joke to you?
Lifeless and overused

My only accomplishment
Was watching you dance with him
And seeing your eyes meet the ceiling

Make your way to the quietest part of town
Pay attention while his interests drown you out
No way to compromise
You feign a smile and reach for the dirt
On the verge of sleep
When will you find peace?
When will you find peace?
