Sleeping

Don't tell me I'm sleeping here in the dark room with the talking overhead
I want to be there, but I find shadows instead
Something you said caught my attention and I knew that I couldn't let this go
Although I'm dreaming I need to be awake to tell you what I know
I'm sleeping here in the heavy feelings with the gread wide open
In my head peeling back taking sides and there's nowhere to hide
So they ask why don't I find what I'm looking for?

I tell them
"I do believe, there is no open door"

Don't tell me I'm far away slipping past the guard that isn't there
pulling myself together lying down with the dream; lying down it would seem
I'm speaking so softly you can't hear a word
and even if you did, you wouldn't know what you heard and somehow
Athough I'm far away I want to be at your side the live long day
Ticking time I thought I knew and selling all of the strength
Every drop I drew
So they ask why my heart looks for the last piece of sanity?

I tell them
"I'm down to my last piece of reality"

Don't tell me I'm sleeping
