I tried to fall asleep I tried to count in sheep, I couldn't do it The static of the day Remaining in some way that kept me lucid Oh, I can be so quiet, barely lifting up a finger But my thoughts are too dismissive of the night ♪ The heavier my eyes became The more I prized that silent rhythm But slumber has to fight A conscious restless mind in spite of comfort Oh, silence is the product of the readily accepted Time for rest, I can't grapple with the quiet Let's go ♪ I tried to hear the sea Be mindful of my breathing in the moment But silence kept me up Evading my best plot to try and fool it So I'll just think in insomnolence (Listen to myself, listen to myself) Dream about my earthly freedoms (Listen to myself, listen to myself) Scoff at those who sleep so easy (Listen to myself, listen to myself) Dream of things like that Shush (Quiet) Stop (Quiet) Calm (Quiet) Breathe (Quiet) Drift (Quiet) Rest (Quiet) Wake (Quiet) What? (Quiet) Why does it have to be so quiet? I can't slip into rest Overwrought by the mess Of my thoughts unconscious Pinch me! Why does it have to be so quiet? I can't resolve quiet control I can't park this moment Why does it have to be so quiet? I can't resolve quiet control I can't rest with quiet Why does it have to be so quiet?
