about

The demo for this song was originally posted at patreon.com/mikeymason on October 12, 2020.

Sleep Forever is obviously and patently informed by the morose, pandemic-influenced mood I’d been in. Now, it doesn't *feel* like a sad song, and I guess it's really not. It's a questioning song. But that's all. You don't need to call in a wellness check on me.

This song was originally created through the support of my Patreon patrons, especially Robin Abess, Randy Brown, Jon Haight, Les Howard, Brian Jackey, Jeremy Jackson & Jennifer Lewis, Josh Logan, Michael Khandelwal, Stephany McNulty, Scot Mealy, Amy Stuart, Scott & Melanie Wienhusen and John R Woolard.

lyrics

Oh no. I had too much to drink last night.
Too much to think last night.
A feeling that things aren’t right.
I don’t know… why everything has to change.
Why everything’s new and strange.
Like everything’s pre-arranged…
Maybe I could
Wash my hands and talk about the weather.
Close my eyes and fall asleep forever.
Ask the world if we’ll get back together, some day… 
Oh no. I think that the problem’s mine
When everyone else seems fine
I’m back at a starting line.
I don’t know… Why do I feel less than?
If I could just see the plan…
Maybe I’d under stand…
Maybe I should…
Wash my hands and talk about the weather.
Close my eyes and fall asleep forever.
Ask the world if we’ll get back together, some day… Some way…
Oh no. I had too much to drink last night.
Too much to think last night.
I don’t know…
