Who pretends to be asleep
When in bed, in bed, in bed?
Squinting eyes and twitching bones
Try to rest my head
But I can't be troubled like this anymore
No, I can't be troubled like this anymore
My friends have all since moved along
But I'm here, alone, awake, and gone
Now I can't remember the last time I slept
Or dreamed it's been so long
But I can't be troubled like this anymore
No, I can't be troubled like this anymore
Well I'm tired of tired and being tired
I'm tired, I'm tired, I'm tired
But I can't be troubled like this anymore
No, I can't be troubled like this anymore
No, I won't be troubled no more

Sunshine

I can hardly breathe at night
The air is much too long
Sucking in and cutting out
My lungs are holding wrong
Sunshine doesn't feel the same
The winds are blowing cold
It's hard to find a healthy core
When all the apples have grown old

In Tune

I'm leaving like a cloud
When the sun stops by
And when I go
I'll go inside
Who knows where?
Oh, who knows where?
Who knows where?
Sand surrounds my heart
Filled with you
I can't stay in tune
In silent salute
Bellow out the blue and singe the aching stew
Catch the morning dew
I know where you've gone and I can
Go there too, I can
Go there too, I can
Go there too
