So last week I was having a bit of insomnia and one morning I was feeling like I wasn’t up to doing much. I wrote a little poem to myself in my journal – to get myself back on track. Later in the day I took a look at what I’d written and decided to turn it into a song… a few days later I recorded a little video of the song… off the floor… just me and my guitar… here it is…
We’ll Sleep When We’re Dead
The days are swift and unrelenting
There is no non-day in between
Everyday you learn – Everyday is a book to be read
We’ll sleep when we’re dead
Morning comes it always does… even when the night before seems to never end
Even when the night before is broken and unrestful
Even-when-there-is-still rest to be had – We’ll sleep when we’re dead
I will prop myself up
I will use the reserve
stimulate my cortex with off-the-shelf glee
Smile-Inject myself in the lifeline
Do something to prove that I’m still here
There’s joy that comes with engagement
There is no rest for the wicked
We’ll sleep when we’re dead
