Oh, sleepers.

Lyrics/freewriting.

I'll take these lies to the bottom of the sea,
where not even I could retrieve them
And all of these emotions that run so deep,
I was just pretending, lying to myself again

Wasted time, circles and circles went around the truth
but not even acknowledging the facts, that were blatantly placed
before me

It's just human nature, to try to hold onto what we want the most,
but somehow we end up slipping
furthur away from our simple goals
life should be so simple
We're just playing the sleeper

So go ahead sleepers
sleep until your heart's content,
but just know that you'll have to wake up sometime
And when you take that first glance around
to discover a world so true
you'll find more beauty and relief
in the reality than you did in the start

Utsukushii, SaGra! :D
I loved it. Totally true, and the whole writing has a nice feel to it. It doesn't feel like anyone is being accused or condemned, you're just stating what you see. It's really clean.

Much to be learnt from this piece, it is very inspiring. And yes, sleepers tend to miss alot dont they, as the days go by and the clouds and sun move across, they can be missing so much. I have never been much a fan of sleeping myself. =) wonderful!
