SLEEPNOWTHINKLATER

7.4.2000

Sleep now, think later
A blanket of unconsciousness
Descends over me.
My weak frame is giving in.
My mind has already gone
Sitting in standby waiting for the revolution.

Give me an identity
Give me a mind
Wind up my clockwork engine someone.
Pull off my strings
Delete the expectations
Set me out to roam free.

I need my sleep,
I feel so weak,
I've held it together as long as I can
You've been been letting me go
Not pushing me away
But none of that matters now anyway.

My life is one big ache
But it no longer matters
I'm starved of happiness
But it no longer matters
I'm so alone
It no longer matters
My body is falling to pieces
Yet it no longer matters
My mind did long ago.
