I don’t want to fall asleep

Co’s there’s a thousand dancing butterflies

Waiting to get in.

From a swirl inside my head

Like a cloud descending suddenly,

they’re dancing in my skin

I don’t want to fall sleep

face that familiar place of in-between

Where things begin to break

And it’s not that I’m afraid

I’m just tired of all their flutterings

Keeping me awake

I don’t want to feel insane

But it’s insane that sleep should wake me up!

How can I explain?

I just don’t want to fall asleep

Co’s there’s a thousand dancing butterflies

Waiting…there….again.
