Sleep Well

from Road To Wilderness by Britt Kusserow

/

about

Most of these songs just make me feel bad for all my exes. They didn't need this crap.

lyrics

Write the words first.
Random thoughts that I want to set to music.
My random thoughts have become too blunt to wax poetic.
I'm not frantic, for once.

Once I told you,
well, I told you everything.
I opened my mouth and said too much
but I thought I'd give you words as love.
Love is only a hunch.

Please sleep well tonight.

Here's the part where
drums and bass kick in my simplistic song,
as I realise my shoes are untied,
when's the last time I looked down?
I'll be around if you look.

Once you told me,
well, you told me just enough
to keep me hanging, but have no fear.
I'm distraught, but it feels nice to be an open book.
I'll be around if you

Look at me now.
Singing for all these people.
Telling them I'm no steeple.
This is my spotlight.
I'll sleep well tonight.

For a fade-out,
I think I'll avoid a bridge.
Let's keep this short, and completely pointless.
There's just no way to compromise.
Wise are the wordless, and right.

Once you loved me.
Once I made a cruel mistake.
God only knows that I'm glad for the outcome.
It shows me we're not who I thought we were.
You get the last word, so

Write me a letter. Send it to Wilderness Road.
To my temptation, I'll go. Living on more than bread alone.
My sins are my strongpoints when I remember I'm flawed.
Long is the road, and outlawed, that leads up to light.
So I'll sleep quietly.
Yes, I'll sleep so silently,
and I'll sleep well tonight.
