Sleeper

Tossed around the idea of stepping off the edge, hoping my fall lands into a familiar place A familiar face: can we leave this space? It reminds me of all my mistakes Bite my tongue, vision spins, living life from the cutter's skin Sent to be an ungrateful son, can't you see my breath is gone? Bury my head to hide from reality I'll make a new name for myself, i'm on my own I just hope I have the strength to move and show fortitude Bite my tongue, vision spins, living life from the cutter's skin Sent to be an ungrateful son, can't you see my breath is gone? Just let me sleep tonight I only feel safe inside Shadows cast and dance slick These walls expand quick With every strike, I shudder at the wake, rippling through my drifting mind What if I knew the journey this whole time? Just let me sleep tonight I only feel safe inside. So I need to be saved? Do I want to be? I don't want to be the shell of what these people see Just let me sleep tonight. I only feel safe inside
