Sleepyhead lyrics

[Chorus]

Lullaby and goodnight

Baby, tuck in your sorrows

Find a way to drown it out somehow

Go to sleep, rest your head

You can worry tomorrow

These are things you can't change

Right now, right now

[Verse 1]

My eyes are tired but my mind is alive

My brain is my vacation and prison at the same time

It lures me in and locks me up and tosses the key

I'm pillow-talking to myself because it won't let me sleep

Okay, my legs are achin', restless kickin' keeping me up

I'm moving up on the charts; still feeling down on my luck

I'm tossin', turnin', far from snorin', wrestlin' with my bed

And I keep fightin' sheets and thoughts

That won't get out of my head

Like how can sometimes days feel like years

And years feel like moments? And if time heals all wounds

Then why's it take the ones we love from us?

And what's it even matter when forever ends in a second?

All of our thoughts and knowledge

End up six feet deep with our skeletons

Leverage it, to hell with it

Might as well make the best of it

When you're gone the only advantage

Is you won't ever remember it

So raise the stakes, and make mistakes

One day you'll wake up dead

But 'til then, close your eyes

Lay to rest, sleepyhead

[Chorus]

Lullaby and goodnight

Baby, tuck in your sorrows

Find a way to drown it out somehow

Go to sleep, rest your head

You can worry tomorrow

These are things you can't change

Right now, right now

[Verse 2]

I try to go to bed real early just to say I got through the day

But I worry that some-time I'll find I slept my whole life away

I'm too anxious to fall asleep, but I'm too depressed to stay awake

The drama and insomnia's really messin' with my mental state

Think about the night when I was pleading "please don't leave"

But I could see me in your eyes and couldn't stand who I was bein'

I fear I'll disappear some days and sometimes I wish you'd let me

'Cause I know deep down the truth

Is that you wish you'd never met me

Just forget me, erase me, hate me

It's for your own health

Trust me, I might be what we mean

When we say wealth doesn’t buy happiness

I’m a mess and don’t need your help

'Cause more than I want you

I want you to think about yourself

It's heartbreaking and breathtaking

How the years keep disappearing

The only thing consistent is these constant inconsistencies

I give my all and fight so hard with little reciprocity

I used to wanna fall in love, now I just wanna fall asleep

[Chorus]

Lullaby and goodnight

Baby, tuck in your sorrows

Find a way to drown it out somehow

Go to sleep, rest your head

You can worry tomorrow

These are things you can't change

Right now, right now

[Verse 3]

You see sometimes I start screaming

'cause screaming's better than you seeing me cry

But I don't mean it, 'cause the thing

Is I tend to use my temper to hide

What I'm really feeling, I'm reeling

Concealing what’s buried inside

Then stick my teeth in revealing the monster

That reluctantly resides in my mind

I lose my mind trying to find the collide

Of who I am and what’s the disguise

I bare my teeth in fear my dear

My bark is worse than my bite

It's not your flesh I'm eating

Promise I'm just feeding you time

Got my degree in disagreeing

Thinking I'm always right

The common theme in the scene is

I keep on believing if I just keep on breathing

When I see them, then my self-esteem will be fine

But I'm still weak and still bleeding

Stuck in the machine where I'll die

I'll be deceased, be released, be free

From this unleashed beast when I lie

In peace and solitude in my hollow tomb

In the solemn mood that you’re accustomed to

And I’ll follow-through

And I’ll haunt you in your nightmares

Can you be here with me for eternity?

Death do us part, happy tragedy

In the mortuary when you close your eyes

I'll be there, sweet dreams dear

[Chorus]

Lullaby and goodnight

Baby, tuck in your sorrows

Find a way to drown it out somehow

Go to sleep, rest your head

You can worry tomorrow

These are things you can't change

Right now, right now
