I Try To Sleep Lyrics

I try to sleep but sleep won't come

I lay in bed awake and anxious

Hoping for peace to fall on me like a suffocating pillow

But my dreams never appear

And I try to sleep but sleep won't come

I clear my head with stars and space

Yet comets of love left undone

Shower down and through and across my face

I try to sleep but

I still feel her indentions in the bed

Sometimes my hand strokes where she laid

Touching a ghost hip, breast, head

And I try to sleep but sleep won't come

I firmly hold it from under my pillow

Already loaded, parent's gun

In my mouth, I suck on steel pacifier

Finally, my sleep has come
