lyrics

sometimes I lay in bed
dreams still lingering in my head
with my eyes closed I still look ahead
into my imagination
and the things I see are part memories
part semi surreal deep mysteries
on the edge of REM
theres no misery
just a slow relaxed vacation from reality
just a slow relaxed vacation from normality

sometimes I lay in bed
Its hard to get up when you can dream instead
when you can think of all the things that have no end
and all the possibilities

I wanna stay inside
where its warm and cozy
cause waking life
is cold and harsh
I wanna stay asleep
cause sleeps not lonely
when waking life
lacks lovers arms

and sometimes I lay in bed
I cannot sleep so I think instead
and I toss and turn on my books half read
trapped in waking reality
and I overanalyze things like this
if sleep is bliss then is it ignorance
if I want to nap all day am I a nihilist
cause sometimes I just dont want to
give a fuck
and take refuge in my mind
when things get rough

is it selfish or self preservation
to sell your soul to your imagination
cause otherwise you feel dead disintegration
of your own humanity

I spend my life restless thinking
writing reading playing guitar
I spend my mornings restful dreaming
calmly breathing slow and sparse
