the easiest way to sleep

what's the easiest way to sleep?

it's something i don't do anymore _

because it's him i wanna keep

and it's you that i want more _

i count sheep

or the internet, I'll explore _

but i can't sleep

my body doesn't mind that anymore _

so tell me,

what's the easiest way to sleep?

when you're both in my mind encore _

so what if the knife i keep

slices my throat with gore _

isn't that the easiest way

to sleep?
