sleep

[3141592]

it's that slight roaring sound
when the lights go out
and the shades go down
when the thoughts start up
and the panic begins
what's tomorrow to bring
and how did this day end

it's this game we play
of living this life each week
one day one day one day
until its over and done
we get up and lie down
and do our best in between
we keep our heads held high

this day this time this moment
it's done it's gone it's over
the roaring sound subsides
one of the last fleeting thoughts
before your eyes close shut
i hope i did the best i could
i know i gave it my best shot
