Sleep

Anu

David Bowie gave me the film reel unspooling to infinity. Idaho gave me the bass chords and the slowcore vibe. Surf twang. Tabla. Pink Floyd.

It’s time to go
I can’t wait to leave
There’s nothing more to say

All alone now
At the movie’s end
I can’t remain awake

Drifting out
Nodding off
Lift me up into sleep

This is where the struggling ends
In sleep, into sleep
This is where the suffering ends

I want the soft
And comfort now
There’s nothing I can do

It’s been so long
and far too hard
Now I just can’t hold on

Falling down
Faster now
Diving out into sleep

This is where the story ends
in sleep
This is where reality ends
