Sleep

I decided for this post that I'm going to post some lyrics I've been working on and see what people think.

Tired but you just can't sleep
tossing and turning
these things flash through my mind
iomages of those around my life
these moments seen day by day
makes me feel like I'm sleeping with my eyes open

So now i'll try
just to get by
find that peace
that comes with sleep
fall down deep where they weep
for those fallen

the folded flag upon her doorstep
seeing faces that won't smile again
they all stare blankly up at their flag over them
and on the other side their mothers missing them so

as dirt falls in i cough and sputter
i try to close my eyese and make it go away
but all i see
is the world on fire
