Light Sleeper

On a scale of one to ten where do you land
And how are you supposed to know that
I have emotional pins and needles
And I dig my heels in
I’m ready to be a light sleeper again
To wake up and feel everything
I can carry the weight of it
We are running on the beach, we are hunted
Something heavy in the sea, something blunted
Fear can’t hurt you anymore than a dream can
It’s okay feel bad
And I’m ready to be a light sleeper again
To wake up and feel everything
I can carry the weight of it
If there were a beast I would have seen it by now
Been all over the island
You taught me to be afraid of myself
Well I am, but I’m trying
