Sleeper - Erra

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, tonight

When 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, tonight

When I only feel safe inside

I only feel safe inside

Just let me sleep tonight

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, tonight

When I only feel safe inside

I only feel safe inside

Just let me sleep tonight
