lyrics

SLEEPIN'
By Bliss Bowen

Oh
Kitchen faucet’s drippin’
Clock says three-oh-seven … oh
Not again

Turn
I’m tossin’ and I’m turnin’
Bone tired of dream discernin’
Still my mind

I’ve counted stars, I’ve counted sheep, I’ve counted all my bills
I’ve taken stock, I’ve taken time, I’ve taken pills
There just ain’t any sleepin’
Just ain’t any sleepin’, no, mm mmm
No sleepin’

Words
By day they lift and gird me
By night they’re knives that herd me … oh
On and on

How
Do dreams become devils
Been livin’ on the level … oh why
One more time

I’ve counted stars, I’ve counted sheep, I’ve counted all my bills
I’ve taken stock, I’ve taken time, I’ve taken pills
There just ain’t any sleepin’
Just ain’t any sleepin’, no, mm mmm
No damn sleepin’, oh

Oooooh
I’ve counted stars, I’ve counted sheep, I’ve counted all my bills
I’ve taken stock, I’ve taken time, I’ve taken pills
I read a while, I ride this Nile of my anxiety
Taste salty tears, rue blue my fears, curse my sobriety
I try and try to say goodbye to wakin’ but
There just ain’t any sleepin’
No sleepin’
No damn sleepin’ no, mm mmm

Is this the sign I’ve lost my mind
No sleepin’
No damn sleepin'
No, mm mmm
No sleepin'
