Waiting for Sleep

[Instrumental intro] [Instrumental prelude] [Instrumental prelude] [Verse 1] Night falls, the struggle starts anew, Two kids wide awake, no sleep in view, Stories told, songs sung in tune, But they fight the night, and it's way past due. [Pre-Chorus] Eyes wide open, restless and wild, Tales of dragons, imagination’s child, Holding on, I won’t be beguiled, In this nightly war, no truce reconciled. [Instrumental interlude] [Chorus] Reading tales of battles and dreams, Lullabies drowned in their restless screams, Waiting for sleep, but it’s harder than it seems, In the darkness, I hear their schemes. [Verse 2] Book in hand, creatures of the night, Pages turn, casting shadows in light, Songs of old, in the twilight fight, Clinging to hope, they’ll give in to the night. [Pre-Chorus] Eyes wide open, restless and wild, Tales of dragons, imagination’s child, Holding on, I won’t be beguiled, In this nightly war, no truce reconciled. [Instrumental interlude] [Chorus] Reading tales of battles and dreams, Lullabies drowned in their restless screams, Waiting for sleep, but it’s harder than it seems, In the darkness, I hear their schemes. [Bridge] Whispers fade as dreams descend, Holding on till the bitter end, Eyes grow heavy, reality bends, In this battle, no rules to defend. [Breakdown] Silent cries, in the still of the night, Holding them close, gripping tight, Sleep eludes in the dim moonlight, I fall to the void, losing the fight. [Instrumental interlude] [Chorus] Reading tales of battles and dreams, Lullabies drowned in their restless screams, Waiting for sleep, but it’s harder than it seems, In the darkness, I hear their schemes. [Instrumental outro] [End song] [End song]
