I don’t like this feeling 
I can’t seem to fall asleep
I count the tiles on the ceiling 
I’ve tried counting sheep
I’m smarter than you are 
And brave enough to say exactly what I mean
But I don’t have words for this subconsciousness
I fall in between

I’m dreaming
I do it with my eyes open
I’ll wait for sleep to come 
So I won’t have to see your face

I’ve treated myself unkindly 
And now it is just about time
To reacquire what was stolen from me 
To take back what is mine
I’m stronger than you are 
and cynical enough to understand
That somehow dear I won’t fight back 
I’m in your hands

And now I’m dreaming
I do it with my eyes open
I’ll wait for sleep to come 
So I won’t have to see your face
