Hear your heartbeat

Beat a frantic pace

And it's not even seven AM



You're feeling the rush

Of anguish settling

You cannot help showing them in.



Hurry up then

Or you'll fall behind and

They will take control of you



And you need to heal

The hurt behind your eyes

Fickle words crowding your mind



So

Sleep, sugar, let your dreams flood in,

Like waves of sweet fire, you're safe within

Sleep, sweetie, let your floods come rushing in,

And carry you over to a new morning



Try as you might

You try to give it up

Seems to be holding on fast



It's hand in your hand

A shadow over you

A beggar for soul in your face



Still it don't matter

If you won't listen

If you won't let them follow you



You just need to heal

Make good all your lies

Move on and don't look behind



Day after day

Fickle visions

Messing with your head

Fickle, vicious

Sleeping in your bed

Messing with your head

Fickle visions

Fickle, vicious
