When the Dark Falls - The Never Ending

The kettle can whisper, the kettle can shout

The pills can pull but they always give out

Nothing can take me, and less keeps me there

'Cause sleep is a beast, polar and bare

Tossing and turning awake in the night

Helplessly burning up in candelight

Holding on tightly to all that is real

'Cause when the dark falls, I’ll burn what I feel

I don’t think I know

How to rest in the mellow and slow

I just make my bed

On the storm inside my head

My thoughts will stutter and my mind will race

My heart is a bird and my head is a cage

If I abandon hope of a key

Maybe the lock will break and make free

I don’t think I know

How to rest in the mellow and slow

I just make my bed

On the storm inside my head

Hours and hours in the day

And the rest I spend awake

Hours and hours in the night

It’s the rest I try to fight

I don’t think I know

How to rest in the mellow and slow

I just make my bed

On the storm inside my
