Intermission - Sleeping At Last

I’m so tired but I can’t sleep

My mind is full but I can’t speak

Among the dust of the hard-to-reach, I’m stuck

Right here, somewhere between side a and side b

I could call it compromise

Or just an intermission

Some kind of consolation prize

For the race i never finished

I want to turn these tired gears

I want to feel the follow-through

Some kind of equilibrium…

Something to set my watch to

I’m here, somewhere between

Victory and a white flag

Caught in this purgatory dream, i’m stuck

But i want to set the record straight

I want to retrace my every step

If i could just rewind all the tapes

Then maybe i’d find my loose thread

Call it a compromise

Or just an intermission

Some kind of consolation prize

So close, but never finished

I want to turn these tired gears

I want to feel the follow-through

Some kind of equilibrium…

Something to set my watch to
