How do you sleep at night
Keep a sober mind
And when morning comes
You rise again
I kept my fingers crossed
Spilled my jar of ink
The only time I tried
I've got such weak skin
So I'll fall asleep
Shaking endlessly
Cradled by my fear
I sink through the sheets
I can barely fake a smile
So how come your spine stays so straight
I've been breaking up inside
For all the times I've hit the ground
Lingered on the worst of days
My need to second guess myself
The wooden gate to my backyard
Would cover my view for a while
And I'd be sitting right there
Avoiding a reason to smile
And I'd be killing time
Believing this would last
Stuck beneath the sun
The scales that blind our eyes
