Sleepwalking

Blue on white, words are falling.
Feeling fine and the message is clear.
9.15 - fingers freezing.
Stomach cramps and the end of a year.
Wait to crawl to a daydream,
Take a grave and a nightmare seed.
Doing well now - thanks for asking.
Looking grey, still feeling green.

And the pressure’s on me now.
And it’s all getting too loud.


Watching these five people sleep ‘cause I can’t sleep myself.
Dreaming only second hand is better for my health,
So I’m sleepwalking now.

Search for friends in isolation.
Fingers numb from clutching my pen.
Hazy light, through the curtain,
Writing letters that I’ll never send.

Got a caffeine overdrive,
Working 3am ’til 5.

Watching these five strangers sleep ‘cause I can’t sleep myself.
Dreaming only second hand is better for my health,
And so I’m sleepwalking now.

Take a trip to the ceiling, makes a change from feeling low.
10.15 - trouble breathing. Fingers crossed, if I take it slow.

And the lines are blurring now.
And the end has come somehow.

Watching these five people sleep ‘cause I can’t sleep myself.
Dreaming only second hand is better for my health
Watching these five sleep ‘cause I can’t sleep myself.
Dreaming only second hand is better for my health
And so I’m sleepwalking now.
