Monte Luna - Free Throw

A momentary taste of silence

A fleeting sense of peace

Before I realized that my eyelids have been begging me for weeks that I could

use the sleep

But that cave is not as deep as I once thought

There’s times when I would sleep, «resting my eyes» if I was caught

And now a nightmare would be desired if it meant just a sliver of rest

Now the voice in my head is agitated, «So drift away,» it says

«Please wake up, sleep is irrelevant when you keep me all caged up»

Haven’t slept more than a wink in what has to be weeks

This is cause to be afraid

A fear that would make one think

I’ll drive myself right to an early grave

Then I’d sleep for years

(Sleep for years)

Years upon years

Only to never wake

(Only to never wake)

In a world without knowledge I was here

Without knowledge of my name

If I keep this up, and my body starts to fail

I only hope that someone I love isn’t forced to find my shell

I can hear what they’d say

«Please wake up, you have so much left to give

The ones who care, for them you’re air, they need for you to live

So please wake up

Don’t leave us here like this

I beg of you, the thread is loose, there is no need to cut

Don’t give up

Please wake up

Please wake up

Don’t give up

I beg of you, the thread is loose, there is no need to cut»

Sleepless nights that lead to endless vices

A mixture that could leave a body lifeless

Wake up

I need to see the light

Or else it’s a momentary silence

Just a fleeting sense of peace

Wake up

I’m awake

I’m awake

A momentary silence

A fleeting sense of peace

I feel like both my eyelids are begging me to breathe

I’m awake

Haven’t slept more than a wink in what has to be weeks

This is cause to be afraid

Haven’t slept more than a wink in what has to be weeks

This is cause to be afraid

(I'm afraid)

Haven’t slept more than a wink in what has to be weeks

This is cause to be afraid

Haven’t slept more than a wink in what has to be weeks

This is cause to be afraid
