The Insomnia Lullaby

I curl up in the covers of my soft but lonely bed
And all my fears of others come rushing to my head
I curl up in the covers with a heart that's made of lead
My coldness tends to smother any warmth in what I've said

Ahhh, sleep
Ahhh, sleep

I lay awake and dreaming as I slowly count the sheep
Attempting to find some meaning and the hope that I should keep
I lay awake and dreaming about this mountain peak
It's high above and scheming its plan to make me weak

Ahhh, sleep
Ahhh, sleep

I close my eyes and wonder what I want to see
Try to escape the thunder that's crashing down on me
I close my eyes and wonder if great things I will be
I open the door to slumber and throw away the key

Ahhh, sleep
Ahhh, sleep

Ahhh, sleep
