[An ode to sleep]



Observe the strategies of war

I know you needed so much more

This is mental, so sentimental

Any way is my way

Anything I cared for you destroyed,

any promise null and void



Can't you take my pain away. Tell me, can you?

Can't we close our eyes forever. Help me, can you?



And now, you wonder why I'm asking you to go.



I'd give up anything to make your dreams come true

and if I'd pray I'd pray for you.

I'd leave your world to find a new one,

but don't you dare misunderstand!



How can this be a sacrifice,

if you did not lose anything?

I know it isn't fair,

but have we ever asked for fairness?



Save yourself from needless harm.

An overdose for now?

How can I talk about completeness,

if I consist of many pieces?

How can these walls come closer,

if there are really none?



To prevent misinterpretations:

This song tells the story of the urge

to find rest in sleep
