Sleepless

I wish for sleep tonight

But when I close my eyes

I see a flash of white



I know I cannot fight

Can not encourage lies

I wish for sleep tonight



I know it can ignite

That feeling can arise

I see a flash of white



That simple quiet sight

Could be my own demise

I wish for sleep tonight



I keep my lips sealed tight

To keep up the disguise

I see a flash of white



In the dark of the night

I will watch the moon rise

I wish for sleep tonight

I see a flash of white
