Back to Sleep
Tyler Kershaw
You should have seen us before
I wish I wouldn’t react to sinking low again
And I will slowly encase
The world as it gets deep so it won’t seem so far
Just like it was before
The more I try to hold on, the more it disappears
The more I try to repress the things that made me this way
They will surface in time
As if unlocking a cage
Your feather ruffle as if there’s somewhere to be
I wish I wouldn’t react to the sound of four words leaving rest again
If you could do it again would you?
The more it disappears for you, the more I can’t let go
The more these feelings stretch, the more they enclose around my ankles again
