Sleepy City
Counting the cracks in the wall and the colours of the duvet
The shabby sheep in a sleepy city, in a sleepy city on a restless night
Fountain of mantra dreams floating in suspense
Suspended peace placed in pieces broken around the room
The sleepy city cracks upon my wall
Tell me stories all night long
As my mind refuses to fall
Into sleep’s sweet song
A broken cigarette rolls down the street finding freedom
At home in the outskirts of the sleepy city
The sleepy city rolls over unspoken grunts a groan
Moaning for quiet quickly quit the noise sit silently
The sleepy city cracks upon my wall
Tell me stories all night long
As my mind refuses to fall
Into sleep’s sweet song
The sleepy city cracks upon my wall
Tell me stories all night long
As my mind refuses to fall
Into sleep’s sweet song
We sit ticking our theories as clouds run over washing lines
Crawling in shadows of society’s sleepy city
Our sleepy city dripping with contempt unlit from the impatient knife
Rife in bubbles of bloody bins counting our hours til the morning cracks
The sleepy city cracks upon my wall
Tell me stories all night long
As my mind refuses to fall
Into sleep’s sweet song
