lyrics

Please let me sleep
a little longer
I'm not done dreaming
and I can pretend
that I'm ok
if you can pretend not to see the bleeding

I can hide all the scars
avert my gaze to the stars
till the smell
creeps it's way out from underneath the carpet
I'd try to clean it up
if I didn't feel so darn lethargic
so instead I dreams dreams of

precious vulnerability
that elusive fragility
I'm not who i ought to be
so please
let me sleep

Cause when I wake up I'll be fine
and when I wake up I will smile
till I can't even tell
how it is I truly feel
I'll make space for all your burdens
by erasing all my own
and you won't ever know
cause I will do it on my own

So please let me sleep
a little longer
cause when I'm dreaming I feel fine
but I know someday
I'll grow stronger
and I'll realize these dreams of mine

Till then I'll close my eyes
sing myself sweet lullabies
cause I know if I try
my dreams will all come true in time
