I've lived mine and observed yours, I'm still clueless about youth
Duration makes us do a lot of crazy things

During the night the bite itched its way into a bump
Though always tired, he had to work at falling and staying asleep

A car upside down in the fast lane slowed midnight traffic
I get back you're asleep, toward dawn I dream someone falls from the sky

You can't fall asleep without opening the mind to time
You can't start a pearl without a grain of sand

The continuing unrest finds its way into your dreams
For the mind, sleep's a way to close the gap between present and past

Similarities & sets and dreams & rhymes pose questions about time
The dreamy way you blend in and why that bothers you

Face it, you haven't amounted to anything, and won't
Prayer provides alliance with power to which a liege can say anything

If everything you prayed for happened, what a nightmare
Sometimes, only the clock watches you, and God's frayed image smirks
