about

Composed in Jacksonville, FL on the Take Control tour.
Not uncommon for me (and another big theme on this album), I simply could not fucking sleep.
It used to be that when I was sleep deprived, I would hallucinate sea critters (hence the existence of the Bubblegum Octopus in the first place), but in this particular instance I was just watching the sun rise and wondering why I could not find sleep.

lyrics

I'm in a sleep void
Taking me from normal life
Drifting to far lands
My room's the ocean, I have to sail my bed ship out of this wasteland

Why am I awake? The sun is gone
And now it's rising: Morning dew forms
I've been asking carrots to release the things that they're carrying that could help me fall asleep
Asleep
That feeling that I miss they call sleep

Awake past morning, Yellow sun hits inside me
Blow out my candle

My heart is pounding
My lungs feel like they're being crushed by a demon
Open the portal, take me beyond this abyss
Cuddle me softly
