Trying to Sleep
[Verse 1]
I don’t know who you are but I’m in your land
I don’t know how I got underneath the sand
I’ve been trying to sleep
I’ve been trying to sleep for you
Up a tower you go and so here I sit
In an ocean below dryer than your lips
I’ve been trying to sleep
I’ve been trying to sleep for you

[Chorus]
Break free, in the morning when we see
The life is gone
Face me, I will follow your feet
Please, I will not starve for you

[Verse 2]
Many times you were spared
Oh I did my best
Every night you would call for me with your steps
I was trying to sleep
I was trying to sleep for you

[Chorus]
Break free, in the morning when
We see the life is gone
Face me, I will follow your feet
Please, I will not starve
[Verse 3]
Under perfection I woke
As you protected your home
Oh I just kept getting stronger
I did my best to control
The growing unrest in my soul
I could suppress it no longer
No longer
I tried to sleep for you

[Outro]
Face me, I will follow your feet
Please, I will not starve
For you
