Sweet Dream

(album: In The Meantime - 2021)

4:55, everybody else is snoring
My heavy eyes, I can never seem to close 'em
My running mind, just can't catch it when it's going
Is it late at night or is it early in the morning?

Only
So many sheep a girl can count
Patchouli candles burning out
I try to meditate it all away
But damn it, it's too quiet now
Daylight helps distract my head
Monsters hide under my bed
They bother me with all kinds of things
Like where do I go when I'm dead?

Is it too much to ask for a sweet dream?
Need a step back from my feelings
Life is not so bad when I'm sleeping
Is it too much to ask, too much to ask for a
Sweet dream?
For a sweet dream

6:58, sun's peeking through the curtains
I drift away, suddenly the wheels are turning
Songs are in my head, scary thoughts begin to worsen
Once I'm wide awake, it's too hard to reverse it

Chirping
Birds are flying round my house
Patchouli candles burning out
I try to meditate it all away
But damn it, it's too quiet now
Daylight helps distract my head
Monsters hide under my bed
They bother me with all kinds of things
Like that one stupid thing I said

Is it too much to ask for a sweet dream?
Need a step back from my feelings
Life is not so bad when I'm sleeping
Is it too much to ask, too much to ask for a
Sweet dream?
For a sweet dream
Sweet dream
For a sweet dream

Sandman, can you visit me?
All I want is a sweet dream

8:31, I'm slurring every word now
I pray this cold coffee helps me with the rebound
How does everybody I know know how to sleep sound?
When we're all a mess, I guess the only way out

Is a sweet dream (Sweet dream, sweet dream)
Is a sweet dream
Sweet dream
Is a sweet dream
