Off by One - Elliot Moss

I count down sheep to sleep

Listening to them laugh

Going numb in all my fears

And skipping all the math

That camera kiss to sleep

Throws me into sharp relief

I’m stumbling down the stairs

I’m stumbling down the stairs

Cause I can’t really feel my feet

I count down sheep to sleep

I count down sheep to sleep

I feel safe around safe people

Here’s the church and here’s the steeple

And at the height of hubris

I make myself numb in all my fears

I’ve untied all the strings

But can’t make myself a man

I’m stumbling through conversation

And can’t really feel my hands

I count down sheep to sleep

I count down sheep to sleep

And at the height of hubris

I pretend it can’t be done

I was only off by one

I was only off by one

I count down sheep to sleep

I count down sheep, I count down sheep
