When Rest Dnt Rest Me

I lay my head down
But my thoughts keep running
Clock says midnight
But my mind's still humming
Pillow full of questions
Blanket full of fears
Been carrying this weight
For too many years
Trying to silence all the voices
But they're louder when it's quiet
And this peace I try to borrow
Feels more like a riot

When rest don't rest me
And sleep won't save me
These dreams don't bless me
They just chase me
War inside nobody sees
I'm tired as hell but I can't find peace
When rest don't rest me

Oh I just need to breathe

Told them I'm fine
Smile through the tension
But inside I'm folded
Just begging for redemption
My chest feel tight
My hands keep shaking
This smile ain't joy
It's barely faking
They say take it day by day
But every day feels the same
I'm trying to pray it all away
But even faith feels strained

When rest don't rest me
And peace don't find me
Dark thoughts test me
They creep behind me
I fight each night for sanity
Exhausted but I can't break free
When rest don't rest me

I just need to breathe

Someone tell the storm to hush
Tell my heart it's safe to trust
I'm just trying to make it through
But I don't know what to do

When rest don't rest me
And I feel too broken
Words unspoken
Barely coping
If I fall will someone catch me
Or am I too far gone to see
When rest don't rest me
Just breathe
Just breathe away
