Sleepy Eyes (an acoustic song)

[amp7325]

This song is in E major/myxolidian. I hope you like the lyrics

Seeing the world
Through sleepy eyes
A sleepless wonder
No surprises here

Every song I’ve ever known
Is stuck inside my head
And anything that I can think of
Caught inside my mind

I’m counting my breaths now
‘Cause I’m too **** clever for counting sheep
Oh please let me escape for just a few hours
It’s the only thing I truly need

Anything enters my mind’s eye
Love long lost, years long past
Dumb mistakes slipped by unforgiven
And everything that was meant to be said

I guess I was never meant for you, but you were meant for me
How does that work out anyway?
Wait, how did I get into a you-and-me conversation with myself
Just close my eyes and dream

I’m counting my breaths now
‘Cause I’m too **** clever for counting sheep
Oh please let me escape for just a few hours
It’s the only thing I truly need

I can’t scream to tell you
To get out of my head
All that comes out is a whisper

I’m counting my breaths now
‘Cause I’m too **** clever for counting sheep
Let me escape for a few hours (can’t stop looking back)
You’re the only thing I truly need


Gahhh.... the censored word is "The D word."

I like that its very cool

[burton.and.gas]

well its quite cool i suppose. the "message" is shown quite well and the imagery is very good but the subject matter is quite clearly clichéd. the song is technically very good. i suppose i don't really have a problem with it, it is just not my cup of tea. i don't usually liek thsi kind of song but it is godo for what it is.

Nice job for an acoustic song. Very powerful work here. I really like the title. Sleepy eyes. The word usage in here is just amazing. I cant believe it. Also the message that I got from this song is just spectacular. I have seen alot of great work today, but your work is up in the top three. I would give you my award, but I already gave it out today. But you are going to be an honorable mention. Nice job and keep it up. :thumb: 9/10.

Please crit my song_ Anthem of our crying children part one- modern suburban tragety. Thanks. :chug:
