laying down on a blue plastic mattress age 18
when i first learned to bridle all
change the size of all my daydreams
my biggest fear was dying 'fore i saw the year 2045
i saw burned out buildings
cockroaches and vines the only things alive inside
so i stayed up
staring at the ceiling
and when i cried
felt the planet heaving
well i looked up
mourned what we were leaving in our wake
i laid awake
laying down on the very same mattress age 22
still a shade of blue
old and somehow new
reeling from the places i have walked and driven through
when i fear us dying 'fore we fully get to live our lives
i hold that thought inside
close my eyes and hold you tight
if it all went down to tonight i would be alright
so i sleep deep
though my love is leaving i can keep
the beauty that she showed me in my reach
some nights i lay wide awake
but mostly now
i hold myself
when i sleep
i sleep
when i sleep
i sleep
when i sleep
i sleep
when i sleep
i sleep
when i sleep i sleep
