(130-140 BPM 2-Step Infused funk, resurgence sound. Roland-s01, jittery, irregular rhythm chopped female vocals.)
[INTRO - close vocal]
Shake my lucid mind
And dreaming life
I've led
[VERSE 2 - ]
Smoking
A reminder
Of the burning fuse
Of life
Glimpse of it all
Through past shared moment
How timeless
Yet distant
And the vanished vision
Not fleeting
For I can still
See it now
[HOOK - soft, hypnotic]
I want to sleep
I want to sleep
Right now
When I close my eyes
Time will have passed
And yet to me
Only a blink
I want more time
To pass
I want to sleep
I want to sleep
Right now
[BREAK - 4 bars - instrumental only]
[VERSE 3 - closer, more fragile]
Shake my lucid mind
Dreaming life
I've led
Every old attempt
Returns again
Knowledge
Understanding
Acceptance
Comfort
If dwelled upon
Despair
[HOOK - female backing underneath]
I want to sleep
I want to sleep
Right now
When I close my eyes
Time will have passed
And yet to me
Only a blink
I want more time
To pass
I want to sleep
I want to sleep
Right now
[BRIDGE - drums drop, room tone]
The vanished vision
Not fleeting
I can still
See it now
Timeless
Yet distant
A past shared moment
Still burning out
Attention
Increases ability
Until attention
Starts to fray
[FINAL HOOK - stripped back, almost lullaby]
I want to sleep
I want to sleep
Right now
