Song I wrote in '07.
(verse 1)
As I crack open my eyes a steady stream of dirty light comes creeping through the room up to my bed.
I bury my head in my sleeve to escape the wretched yellow beam but alas I find no solace in my dreams.

(chorus)
Cuz' my dreams often distort what's on my mind; I find sleep does not come easily most of the time.
And I've been trying to find a way to get away but
the only way I know of how to get away
scares the shit out of me
every time.

(verse 2)
The digital clock on the wall reads 7 minutes past 8 o'clock and I don't know whether it's day or night.
So I reach across the table for a bottle filled with blue remorse as I swallow the guilt that rises up in me.

(chorus)
But the ringing in my ears is my heartbeat and I wish it wouldn't bother me so I can drift off to sleep.
And every time I close my eyes and drift away I
wonder if I'm really gonna drift away. I
wonder just how much more it would take
to be brave.
