Verse 1:
I lay down for the night
and rest my weary eyes
hoping tonight that
things might change
but in this darkness my
thoughts start to multiply
and sanity slowly slips away
Refrain:
and as the sun starts creeping
through the cracks between
the shades it calls me out to
battle through another day
Chorus 1:
And I just need one more
hour to sleep sweet relief
from the demons in my mind
I toss and turn but still
nothing seems to rule
Can t turn off these nervous
thoughts and though
I m shutting my mind s

Verse 2:
I peel my body up
and pour myself a cup
Go through the motions
of the day
And try to figure
out a way to
reconcile the two sides
at war inside of me
(Repeat Refrrain)
(Repeat Chorus 1)
Bridge:
As seconds
turns to minutes
and hours into
days. My thoughts
evaporate into the
haze of real
life dreams I need
to clear my mind
of everything so that
(hold)
I can get some sleep
Interlude: Em--C--G--B--
Chorus 2:
And I just need one more
hour to sleep sweet relief
from the demons in my mind
I toss and turn but still
nothing seems to rule
Can t turn off these nervous
thoughts and though
I m shutting my mind s
