Gabbie Hanna - Sleepyhead

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

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

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

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

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

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

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
