Hope to Sleep

Lost west of these mountains
She walks the island, highland, defile
Stars blink out directions
Through cloud formations
Some kind of a code

She reads this language
Half moons, a lantern
No sign of a road

This land is breathing
She sues for meaning
Molecular show

Can't hope to sleep on this restless beat
She keeps coming back
To this place of fear and lack

Can't hope to sleep
All her fears repeat
What you give did not come back
She goes round and round this Cul-de-Sac

Can't hope to sleep on this restless beat
She keeps coming back
To this place of fear and lack
Can't hope to sleep
All her fears repeat
It's bitter to her taste
What she can't digest, regurgitates

Back is bowed beneath her heavy load
Lost her map along this lonely road
Loved him where he lacked
But he couldn't love her back

Back is bowed beneath her heavy load
Lost her map along this lonely road
Loved him where he cracked
So he couldn't love her back

Back is bowed beneath her heavy load
Lost her map along this lonely road
Loved him where he lacked
But he couldn't love her back

Back is bowed beneath her heavy load
Lost her map along this lonely road
Loved him where he cracked
So he never loved her back
