"Sleep"
-------
Lyrics (c) James, Ben & Sue Paddock, 2012.

VERSE 1
Drifting in a world
Of endless trains of thought
My mind is never silenced
My dreams all full of doubt

Then when I reawake
The hour's always wrong
The daylight passes fast
But the night drags on and on

PRE-CHORUS 1
So my time wastes away
And I'll never put pay
To the voices and the
Visions slowly driving me insane

CHORUS
So why do I sleep
Through it all
Is this world with all its wonders
Simply not enough for me?

So why do I sleep
Through it all
Do I yearn for worlds of riches
And fantasy?
(And squander opportunity
So carelessly?)

VERSE 2
Late into the night
I stay so alert
Early in the morning
My senses crash and burn

Old habits set in stone
Confine and hassle me
Discipline and schedules
Can never set me free

[PRE-CHORUS 1]

[CHORUS]

MIDDLE SECTION
Is my life so simple
That it's not worth waking up to?
Is my mind so filled up
That it can't rest when it wants to?

So why do I sleep
Why do I sleep
Through it all

PRE-CHORUS 3
So my time flies away
Can't you help me escape
From the feelings and the
Fears that make me feel so afraid

FINAL CHORUS (after key change)
So why do I sleep
Through it all
Is this world with all its wonders
Simply not enough for me?

So why do I sleep
Through it all
(And squander opportunity
So carelessly?)
