a song about sleeping

Lyrics

Verse 1

The sun melts down behind my eyes

Golden ghosts drift through the tide

Voices fade like distant cars

Daylight slipping into dark

Verse 2

Sand still clings to restless skin

Salt and laughter wearing thin

Shadows stretch across the mind

Leave the waking world behind

Chorus

Blackness calling, soft and low

Pull me where the lost things go

No more noise, no more fight

Just the silence of the night

Blackness takes me in its hold

Warms me like a fire gone cold

I let go… I let go

Verse 3

Dreams start breathing in the deep

Secrets buried start to speak

Faces blur and drift away

Nothing left of yesterday

Chorus

Blackness calling, soft and low

Pull me where the lost things go

No more noise, no more fight

Just the silence of the night

Blackness takes me in its hold

Warms me like a fire gone cold

I let go… I let go

Bridge

Chorus

Blackness calling, now I fall

Into nothing, into all

No more weight, no more name

No more fear, no more pain

Blackness wraps around my soul

Turns the broken into whole

Outro

Drifting down a heavy stream

Waking from a hollow dream

(I let go)

Fading out of every view

Losing what I thought I knew

(I let go)

Weightless in the open space

Nothing left to try and chase

Into the void

Into the calm

Resting in the quiet palm

Safe inside the velvet deep

Falling into endless sleep

(Letting go)

(Letting go)

Going home

Going home

Away

Away

Guitar Solo

Chorus

Blackness calling, now I fall

Into nothing, into all

No more weight, no more name

No more fear, no more pain

Blackness wraps around my soul

Turns the broken into whole

Outro

The tide has pulled me far from shore

I don't need to reach no more

(Letting go)

The stars are blurring out of sight

Becoming one with steady light

(Letting go)

No more clock to mark the day

All the colors wash away

Into the deep

Into the wide

Nowhere left for me to hide

(Going home)

(Going home)

Away

Away

Away

Away

End
