singing you to sleep with nonsense
you're only grumpy cos you're tired
that's the way your circuit board was wired
and though the solder's not great it's not shorting
there really must be some method of sorting
out the difference between our views
i'm convinced that you should sleep whilst you
seem just as fixed on this new policy
of screaming til you make my eardrums bleed
and even when that crimson tide comes seeping
out of my ears you'll probably not be sleeping
and as it starts to trickle down my cheek
you'll only see it as a sign i'm weak
and probably imagine you have won
but let's be clear we've only just begun
and you will find i'm rather good at waiting
and every time i see your lungs inflating
i know you're slowly using up your powers
and i can keep this standoff up for hours
until the hawk of darkness comes a-swooping
and tugs your eyelids until they are drooping
see, even now your volume starts to fade out
and you're far less awake that you have made out
the strings that hold your head up have been slackened
the sleep thread needle's already going back and
forth stitching your brain into a tight seam
just give in - i'll see you after your dream
