Name: Sleepless
Duration: P00H03M25S
Description: You know those nights when your mind is so busy, so loud, that you just can’t get to sleep? It was on one of those nights that I wrote sleepless. I was thinking about the contrast between the quite buzz of the night compared with the chaos in my head, and tried to imagine what it would be like if we could hear a cacophony of insomniacs and their crazy thoughts, a giant choir of sleepless minds

You know those nights when your mind is so busy, so loud, that you just can’t get to sleep? It was on one of those nights that I wrote sleepless. I was thinking about the contrast between the quite buzz of the night compared with the chaos in my head, and tried to imagine what it would be like if we could hear a cacophony of insomniacs and their crazy thoughts, a giant choir of sleepless minds

lyrics

SLEEPLESS by ANNA O

I can’t descend into the quiet
The almost lifeless lull
My minds raging louder than the buzz outside my door
Wild things are waiting
The darkness fully grown
There’s no use pretending that I’m missing the show

And I’ll join the choir
Join the choir of sleepless minds
The chorus my company
We’ll sing away the night
Oh I’ll join the choir
Join the choir of sleepless minds
The chorus my company
We’ll sing away the night

The restless frustration
The deepest-seated fear
Of answering with honesty the questions night will bring
Delirious with heavy thoughts
Too deep to comprehend
Until morning light comes running to awake the world again

And I’ll join the choir
Join the choir of sleepless minds
The chorus my company
We’ll sing away the night
Oh I’ll join the choir
Join the choir of sleepless minds
The chorus my company
We’ll sing away the night
