I WANT TO SLEEP!


"If sleep does not serve an absolutely vital function, then it is the biggest mistake the evolutionary process has ever made,” Allan Rechtschaffen said. Studies of sleep and sleep deprivation suggest that the functions of sleep include recovery at the cellular, network, and endocrine system levels, energy conservation and ecological adaptations, and a role in learning and synaptic plasticity."

I am no Joan of Arc

So I am left here alone,
And thinking I came from so far,
Now what will I do?
Where do I go from now?
You left me with no expectations,
with a white page to fill,
You think you buy me with freedom,
oh..yes…you think freedom is your power,
Well, I can fight alone…
I am no Joan of Arc,
No saint either I can be
Yeah…you left me with no expectations.
I just want to scream against you,
You don’t sing to me anymore.
You’re not anymore my Bob Dylan.
So I am left here alone,
And thinking I came from so far,
Now the cracks in my sealing are leaking,
And I you have no way to fix this.

Yeah..You left me with no expectations,
And You can’t buy me with a ride to the beach.
I am scared,
with no expectations.


I am no Joan of Arc,
No saint either,
but I’ll find by own battle.


Yeah…you left me with no expectations.
I am no Joan of Arc,
but I’ll dream again.
