Sleep Now

Here lies a lady, sodden and still,
I close her eyes as an act of good will,
Bubble arise to the surface and stop, and I do nothing,
Retrieve your storms,
We are still in awe,
Hold your bones to slow her down,
I couldn’t sleep there, and I won’t sleep now,
What’re you waiting for, hold me back down,
The day became night and we’re glowing by harbour light,
What’re you weeping for, wait for the tide.
Here lies an ocean, hungry and cold,
Cursed with ambition to never grow old,
Pity lies on the surface and floats, but we are sinking.
Retrieve your storms,
We are still in awe,
Hold your bones to slow her down,
I couldn’t sleep there, and I won’t sleep now,
What’re you waiting for, hold me back down,
The day became night and we’re glowing by harbour light,
What’re you weeping for, wait for the tide.
I couldn’t sleep there, and I won’t sleep now,
What’re you waiting for, hold me back down,
The day became night and we’re glowing by harbour light,
What’re you weeping for, wait for the tide.
