Original song "The Science of Sleep". Needs a bit more work on the mixing/mastering, but thanks for listening!

Lyrics...

I slept in late, and I missed my train
It pulled away from the station
I cursed my name, and I cursed yours too
Why couldn’t it wait for me? 
Why couldn’t you?

I’m tired of waking in too many minds to know
Don't tell me to wait here
Laughing as you go

Now it’s violence I seek, but this body is weak
The science of sleep is lost on me

I know what you are
The chemicals in my head
And you pull me to pieces, you tear me apart
Laughing as you go

Oh... still I lie sleeping
Holding a place for us
But I’ve been a fool for it long enough
You sing for my sorrow
Laughing as you go

The Science of Sleep

kids driving the elevator
I voted me off the island 

your nights my days 
You and the rain
drying me out
as a way to find out

my motorcycle is taking over my life

trying to express 
visual emotions 
on to my face
with out a trace
of what could be laced

kids driving the elevator
to your apartment 

one looks like you
and the other like me

like a warm summer breeze
through the green leaf

compost the oligarchy

forgive me father i have sinned
its been 2 years since my last album
every song I’ve written since
have been about not writing   i won’t
bore you with the details
i will spare you all the gore
please dont pick my brain for reasons 
why i haven’t written more

i was once a young musician   only 16  full of spark
with promising ambition  i  made  a lot of art
i wore my guitar on my back  no matter where i’d go i took it with
i wrote so many songs and didn’t care that they were mostly shit
in the years since i have wondered , what exactly caused the change
cus at some point in adulthood    writing turned into a pain
now i pick my words with caution ,  i am scared of every verse
perfectionism haunts me with its unproductive curse

i was once a  smaller being  truly hopeful to a fault
i was freshly turned adult yet  still a child inside my heart
the way i felt like i was owed something, a life devoid of pain
the same way everything  turns out alright    before the movie ends
i’ve learned that life  is merely life   just random acts of consequence
i hate to be so cynical  but  thats how i protect myself
from thinking i am owed a good life   just because i was abused
not that i am not, but it is work,   not a decided truth

forgive me father i have sinned
its been 2 years since my last album
every song I’ve written since
have been about not writing   i won’t
bore you with the details
i will spare you all the gore
please dont pick my brain for reasons 
why i haven’t written more

the liquor store workers know my name
