Are you sleeping with the sleeping dead?
Did you lie awake to find your clothes just hide your bones?
Will you be satisfied the day that you find your heart has lost it's pulse?

Are you happy with the way you live?
Can you live and proper under all that weight?
Can you live and prosper in a world that will ignore all you do?

Stop thinking,
Stop breathing,
Let it all just float away.
Float away.

Have you answered all those questions from your dreams?
Do you panic when confronting age old sins?
Are you ego-driven, self-absorbed and blissfully unaware?
  
Are you happy with the way you live?
Can you live and prosper under all that weight?
Can you stand to live in a world that will ignore all you do?

I can't sleep

Where's the moment when it all makes sense?
I'm lost, and I'm afraid of what I may not leave behind.
I am a victim of my own redundant legacy.

I'm not happy with the way I live,
I can't live and prosper under all this weight,
I'm tired and I want to sleep, I just want to sleep.

Stop thinking,
Stop breathing,
Let it all just float away.
Float away.

I can't sleep.


Float Away

Another day bursts and I wake up from my dream.
I'm asking for your help but you don't know what that means.
Body aches like passion and my lungs seem to hurt when I breathe.
Moments trickle by as my memory fades out and bleeds.

Give me peace and calm for the spilled oil on the floor,
I've broken from my bubble now I can't take this any more.
I'll wrestle with my time, just to see the world unwind,
But I'm still late,
For the meeting with my mind.
Can you see the sky?
Can you feel the warmth of the sun on your skin?
Is it burning?
Are you burdened?
Come rejoice,
For we are not just lonely creatures passing time before we die:
We are bursting from this life.

Where are you my family?
I needed you today.
I thought of going to you,
But you live so far away.

And what of you my brother?
I missed your constant jokes.
But distance is a hardship,
It's been too long since we spoke.

In dreams I have found,
Lonely rocks on the shore,
A beach stretches out, 
Sand and sea forevermore,
The waves they break,
And I'm drifting away,
I will meet again those that I love,
Some day.

Where are you my old friend?
Are you victim to your pains?
I wish that I could help you,
But my problem is just the same.

And even you, past sweetheart,
Gone not in space but time,
I loved you once, remember,
I still do not know why.

There's a space around me,
A lonesome little home.
It costs so much to live here,
To keep me so alone.

My friends if you can hear me,
I miss you more than you know,
I am lost and I am aching,
To meet in winter's snow.

In dreams I have found,
Footprints left in the mud,
I'll track till I tire,
And I'll fall with a thud.
The prints circle round;
You must be searching for me.
I know I should wait,
But I'll still search desperately.

So where are you my lover?
You were all that I had left.
The others have all but vanished,
But you too I did not expect.

I'm stuck upon my island,
A prison of memories,
One day I hope to sail out,
Across the unknown sea.
