[Steemit Exclusive First Release] "Sleep (demo)" Music Video and Lyrics

I'm working on a new album that has content all over the place, and I'm simultaneously working on an EP themed around the loss of my grandmother. This song has equal parts of both, and I'm not sure which one it belongs on.

Lyrics

"Sleep"by Jessamyn Orchard
Awake again
I'm trying to sleep but sleep hasn't found me in years
Tried to drink the pain away
With PBRs and late-night dates but somehow
I'm still here

Some people identify with 3am
The dark and the loneliness comforts them
But not me

Won't you let me, please?
Won't you let me sleep?

Body's exhausted, but the mind is full.

Maybe it's all punishment
Time to pay off that karmic debt
I don't know, no I don't know
Or the sleep I've caused the ones I love to lose
Is falling back on me
In universal reprise

Some people identify with 3am
The dark and the loneliness comforts them
But not me

Won't you let me, please?
Won't you let me sleep?

Body's exhausted, but the mind is full.

I shot this video in Springfield, Missouri at Lindberg's Tavern and around Springfield Lake.

---

All recording and editing of both the song and the video were done entirely on my iPhone using GarageBand and iMovie.

This song will hopefully be released officially with new recording and instrumentation hopefully early next year.
