Maybe I Should Sleep

Maybe I Should Sleep

Its been a long today, since when I woke.
It's gonna be a long tomorrow even if it's as I hope.
I wish I'd paid more attention when they made the rules,
Because it seems they set the system against fools.
I sip my bourbon, I inhale my smoke
There's peace in a cigarette and the bottle's full of hope.
My mind is making dreams look like I'll never see,
And I know somehow I should just let it be...


So maybe I should sleep?
But I've exhausted my fatigue,
And used my sheep up for the week
And if I sleep...
I'll wake to tomorrow,
And this is night i'd like to keep


My life is a melody, a little out of tune.
Lately it's like i hear it from another room.
I know the audience will clap so long as I don't let up,
Its just that sometimes when I'm in bed I can't get up.
The sun kisses my window, but I can't kiss back
Because all that really means is wakefulness is back.
I look at the clock and think that I should be somewhere,
But I close my eyes and wonder, 'do I care?'


So maybe I should sleep?
But I've exhausted my fatigue,
And used my sheep up for the week
And if I sleep...
I'll wake up later in this day,
Because Maybe if I sleep it will be okay....





this is to music. Hopefully I'll figure out how to post that too.
