Half Sleep

Bit the choke, hungry.
I awoke stumbling.
Steal away from me.
Morning glows, ugly.
Where is it you go?
Always leaving me alone.
Where is it you go?
Moving through me like a ghost.
If this is a fight, I’m folding. / Can’t live my whole life in half sleep.
Just turn out the light and hold me, /And hold me like you know me.
Tired eyes; empty.
Breathe the night through me.
Push a lie between teeth.
I’ll abide; you lead.
Where is it you go?
Always leaving me alone.
Where is it you go?
Moving through me like a ghost.
If this is a fight, I’m folding. / Can’t live my whole life in half sleep.
Just turn out the light and hold me, / And hold me like you know me.
Shed your skin, shift your shape.
I’ve watched your colors fade.
Realign, rearrange, but I just stay the same.
Shed your skin, shift your shape,
I’ve watched your colors fade.
Shed my skin, shift my shape,
But I just stay the same.
If this is a fight, I’m folding, / Can’t live my whole life in half sleep.
Just turn out the light and hold me, / And hold me like you know me.
If this is a fight, I’m folding, / Can’t live my whole life at your feet.
Just turn out the light and hold me / And hold me like you know me.
So if this is a fight, I’m folding/ Can’t live my whole life in half sleep.
Turn out the light and hold me/ and hold me like you know me.
