Can't sleep can't sleep can't sleep can't sleep can't sleep can't sleep can't sleep can't sleep.

I can't sleep.. Can't sleep can't sleep my head hurts can't sleep can't sleep can't sleep. 'blah blah.. reoccurring memory of confused flattery brings me to bring these pictures here.. blah blah.. reoccurring memory of confused flattery brings me to bring these pictures here' Can't sleep can't sleep can't sleep can't sleep can't sleep can't sleep. I can't sleep can't sleep. Here's where the story ends.. Can't sleep can't sleep can't sleep can't sleep. 'and all the girls in every girlie magazine can't make me feel any less alone, I'm reaching for the phone.. to call at 7:03, on your machine I slur a plea, for you to come home... But I know it's too late, and I should have given you a reason to stay.. given you a reason to stay..' Can't sleep can't sleep can't sleep can't sleep can't sleep can't sleep can't sleep. Can't sleep. Don't panic. Can't sleep can't sleep can't sleep.' Bones sinking like stones, all that we fall for..' Sleeep.. Can't sleep. Can't sleep can't sleep can't sleep. Can't sleep. Can't sleeepp oh I can't sleep I can't sleep.. I don't want to ever wake up again.. Can't sleep. Can't sleep... I don't want to go back, I don't want to go back, I don't want to go on, I don't want to go back.

"I feel those days without end, when we used to be friends.. Those summer days were spent in search of hope and happiness. We used to while away our days in a beautiful haze. I guess I knew one day, that you'd be be moving long away. You said go back to your dream, back to your wilderness. Go back along the walk, maybe you'll find some happiness. And though my heart broke, in time it did mend. Except when I think about the time that we used to be friends."
-Cranes



I'm tired. Can't sleep. But you know that. I don't want to sleep. The same anxiety of yesterday consumes me. Ah.. Carolyn's Fingers.. Pretty song. It was the first I heard of the Cocteau Twins. Mysterious songs. You can't understand a word she says, unless you see the lyrics, and it surprises me how she can lengthen and twist every word. Makes it echo, makes it slur. Makes the simplest beautiful. "Wen hseee saaahheed.. laa ful of luaa... She feell dowwn enu esee ess meess." Indescribably twisty. You have to hear it to know what I mean.

"My dreams zoom with us. My tears have run away. Our goal, goal collapsed. Energy of lonesome goal. May pushes, leaves and never feels. Shame casts offense. Shame casts her face. Star reason starring of the place. Safe at last. Seeing my thoughts are in order. Safe, fallen down this way. I want to be just what I am. Steal more treasures, steal more gifts. This'll size creative lies. Until we drop (grow up?). It won't free you to go look for the key. My consciousness, don't look away. What might keep them, but a slave. What might keep them, but a slave. My truth's not ever- even half of what's. Safe at last. Seeing my thoughts "
-Cocteau Twins
