Sleep Forever


And then a band instantly becomes one of your favorite creators...snippets of the song are truisms and the melodies flow seamlessly into a powerful embrace of the person you consider yourself to be. I listen to these favorites on long bike rides, arduous hikes, tests of my endurance...I write poems, I feel words...I imagine life with its inevitable sadness, happiness, and lessons...I imagine this like with another person like me who can hold my hand and sense the fragility without the hammer promising certain doom. Enjoy.

As I finally meet my end I won't be scared, I won't defend The things I've done I don't need him like you do I don't fear him like you do As the world revolves the sun I hope the light that I become can Sleep for once I will leave it like you do I won't lead it like you do I won't leave it like they do I don't need him like they do I just want to sleep forever Never see tomorrow Or lead or follow I don't want to work forever Know what I know Or beg or borrow Just like our mothers Who gave us our homes We'll be just like our fathers And go out on our own 'Cause we are the colors In all that you see We'll be just like our brothers We'll take to the streets Take to the streets I just want to sleep forever Never see tomorrow Lead or follow

As my world it hides behind The words only your wars define They read a lot like news But I fear it more than you I fear it more than you I just want to sleep forever Never see tomorrow Lead or follow I don't want to work forever Know what I know Or beg or borrow Just like old lovers Who never leave home We'll forget the city Forget the roads 'Cause we are all rebels Never do what we're told We may not grow money But man we grow old Man we grow old I just want to sleep forever Never see tomorrow Lead or follow I don't want to work forever Know what I know Or beg or borrow Just like our mothers Who gave us our homes We'll be just like our fathers And go out on our own 'Cause we are the colors In all that you see We'll be just like our brothers And take to the streets 'Cause we are all children Yeah, we are all man It may not be much But we do what we can Don't need no preacher To make us believe That everything's perfectly Fucked up like me
