‘Put Me To Sleep’

Well I can’t fall down,
But I can hardly stand up
I’m staring at my shoes

I’m neither more nor less
I’m unsteady I guess
And a little bit confused 

Oh won’t you put me to sleep
It’s where I want to be
Fill my eyes with sand 

Though I close my eyes
I can still see
The shadow of a hand

Well it’s so hard to get
Anything you want
Or even what you need

Whether life or death
There is no free breath
If you want blood you’ll have to bleed

So won’t you put me to sleep
It’s where I want to be
Floating into space

Lay me down once more
Dig a hole in the floor
Buried in your embrace

Sing a lullaby
Then say good-bye
Baby please just put me to sleep
