Juniper

Whisper words to me, under your breath
Tongue tied, obsolete, words you contest
Ever temptingly, aim to succeed
Comfort, all I need, put this to sleep

What did you expect?
When you turned out the light, that was the least of it
And I choose to forget
Your terror tales, all your frights - broken once, broken twice
What did you expect?
With reason for sensory, that was the least of it
Well I choose to forget
Your terror tales - how do you sleep at night?

Re-occuring dreams, misguide belief
Mind of fantasy, seldom seen
Turn to therapy, skeptical me
Short term remedy, pressure release
(You won't have to wait, dawn is on the way
You can stay awake, watch the morning break
You won't have to wait, dawn is on the way
You can stay awake, dawn is on the way)

What did you expect?
When you turned out the light, that was the least of it
And I choose to forget
Your terror tales, all your frights - broken once, broken twice
What did you expect?
With reason for sensory, that was the least of it
Well I choose to forget
Your terror tales - how do you sleep at night?

This has been for far too long
This has been for far too long...

What did you expect?
When you turned out the light, that was the least of it
And I choose to forget
Your terror tales, all your frights - broken once, broken twice
What did you expect?
With reason for sensory, that was the least of it
Well I choose to forget
Your terror tales - how do you sleep at night?

What did you expect, when you turned…
What did you expect, when you turned out the light?
How do you sleep at night?
