Watch Me Sleep

Watch me sleep

Behind my eyes

What you see is no surprise

Cool gray matter

Cool gray air

It's all there

There's nothing there

Watch me dream

Why can't you see

The chemicals in me

Watch my hands

Observe my fall

Empty hands

Hands that crawl

Over skin

Grabbing air

There's nothing there

There's nothing there

Watch my head

So filled with pain

I'm looking for a drain

Looking for a drain

Pull the stopper

Set me free

All or nothing

You can't see

A spot that's bare

Barely there

I can't explain

I can't explain

Watch me sleep

What can you see

The chemicals in me

There's a neuron

Blue as sky

And it won't die

It won't die

I can't explain

I can't explain

I can't explain
