Sleep |
| Like when autumn leaves |
| Fall down from the trees |
| There goes my honeybee |
| I’ve lost a lot of sleep to dreams |
| And I do not miss them yet |
| I wouldn’t wish them on the worst of enemies |
| Let them burn, go from here |
| Like when autumn leaves |
| To catch a thief, who stole the soul I prayed to keep |
| Insomniac, bad dreams got me losing sleep |
| I’m dead tired, my mind playing tricks, deceit |
| A face in the glass, unable to admit defeat |
| All that I am, all that I was is history |
| The past unraveled, adding insult to this injury |
| I’m fighting the battle for the soul of the century |
| Destiny is everything that I pretend to be |
| Look, and what I did came back to me eventually |
| The music played on, and told me I was meant to be awake |
| It’s unresolved like everything I had at stake |
| Illegal activity controls my black symphony |
| Orchestrated like it happened incidentally |
| Oh, there I go, from a man to a memory |
| Damn, I wonder if my fam will remember me |
| I’ve lost a lot of sleep to dreams |
| And I do not miss them yet |
| I wouldn’t wish them on the worst of enemies |
| Let them burn, go from here |
| Like when autumn leaves |
