Story Behind The Song
I guess it's a little bit of a mood based song...sort of saying, "If I can just stay asleep in this peacefullness, I won't have any worries or fears".
Song Description
Simply, a song that came to me based on a chord progression I had going on in my head.
The lyrics just flowed out of me for this one (as is usually the case for the songs I write that I really like).

Lyrics
V1
Slow is the hand that waits for my decision,
Tender is the trap that springs to life for me again,
Whispered were the words that warned me of the telling,
Of fables told to a child who cried out for a friend,
B1
Can you feel the moment flowing,
I will wait for it's return,
C
If I sleep 'til the end,
This dream will last forever,
So I close my eyes against unwelcome dawn,
I remain in the safety of a haze that draws together,
Every urge I feel for fight or flight again,
V2
Slow was the breath escaping this religion,
Shallow was the gesture that offered me advice,
Quicker now forgotten were the moods that tamed the temper,
That tore apart the only heart that refused to fracture twice,
B2
I can feel the moment going,
So I wait for it's return
C
If I sleep 'til the end,
This dream will last forever,
So I close my eyes against unwelcome dawn,
I remain in the safety of a haze that draws together,
Every urge I feel for fight or flight again,
M8
Compassion is a comfort that settles on your face,
The passion of the promise will never be replaced,
C
If I sleep 'til the end,
This dream will last forever,
So I close my eyes against unwelcome dawn,
I remain in the safety of a haze that draws together,
Every urge I feel for fight or flight again,
Outro
This dream will last forever
