Lights Out from Eyeball Planet by Mother Iguana

3.	Lights Out	5:10

Lyrics

I can hear you laughing in your sleep
between your breathing starts and stops

the rhythm rises, floats, and falls
I roll over toward the wall

the dog is dreaming on the floor
I watch the crack beneath the door

and every breath I take
reminds me I'm awake
reminds me I'm alive
it reminds me every night

we lie down in the dark and keep quiet
then we settle out of sight

so it goes, the loop is closed
and only broken open by the light

afraid to fade to black
'til my eyes roll back

and every breath I take
reminds me I'm awake
forever and again
to step around the bend
time is not a friend
sleep is not the end

please
don't
ever
wake
me
up
I was made to stay asleep
much longer
deeper and deeper
into the ether

please don't ever wake me up
I was made to stay asleep
forever
deeper and deeper
into the ether
