Nursery Rhyme

Some people say you should sleep when you’re dead
But I kinda like the world that lives in my head
I’ve got no clue what you and I might get ourselves into
I don’t see the point in fighting all the way up to the front
Of a line for something I don’t even really want
I’ve got no plan, I’m just struggling to understand
My contradiction is I don’t know anything at all
I’ve got this soapbox, but I wish I had a crystal ball
I’ve got no words that haven’t just been overheard
And so I wake up and I’m feeling like a total drag
But I try to hesitate before I wave my white flag
I’ve got no reason to fight with myself through the night
I might fall. I might break
'Cause these walls are starting to shake
One thing I’ve learned, the story can turn
Just like its pages
If I do, I’ll need you
If you’re here there’s nothing to fear
You and I, we will survive
Throughout the ages like a nursery rhyme
My body wants to control what I do
My thoughts are battles that I hope I can live through
I’ve got a calling to be my own enemy
And it might be good for me to try to think about it less
But I’d never argue that I’m anything if not a mess
I’ve got no cause for concern, but I just never learn
I might fall. I might break
'Cause these walls are starting to shake
One thing I’ve learned, the story can turn
Just like its pages
If I do, I’ll need you
If you’re here there’s nothing to fear
You and I, we will survive
Throughout the ages like a nursery rhyme
Some people say you should sleep when you’re dead
But I kinda like the world that lives in my head
I’ve got no clue what you and I might get ourselves into
