Sleeping At Last
Brightly
So close
Yet barely breathing
My responses are weak

Though my eyes are shut tightly
May I see you brightly

Handshakes and fake smiles
Always make me nervous...
Close the door
Please, close the door

We rise and fall
From you
Climb, climb, climb...
We fall

May we learn from
The signals of our past
The sharpest words we cast
And begin again

I can hear their voices
Through the walls of this place...
This cold, cold place
We rise and fall from you
We rise and fall far from you
So close, Yet barely breathing
My responses are weak

Trace these fingerprints, closely now
And they will form what you're looking for
We'll make new prints once more
