one fold, two folds, three folds, four

origami feelings knocking through the door

paper tulips, roses thorns and vines

insomnia pursues me deep into my mind

every nerve screaming for sleep but i don't wanna dream

last time i drifted off i died for many years it seemed

but nobody would miss me as i'm too far to redeem, so

maybe if it lets me then i'll finally let go

and yet here i am up at ungodly hours

hands getting sore from folding paper crafts

and yet sleep eludes me, although i desire

nothing more than to just close my eyes and dream

and yet here i am overcome by this feeling

that no distraction could hope to steal from me

refusing to elude me, that i desire

nothing more than to be held close by you as i dream

push aside my curses and my worries for a night or two

make me forget the aching scar around my throat

push aside your worries and your troubles for tonight or two

purple origami roses leading down a path to you

though i'm scared, i desire nothing more

than to be held close by you

though i'm scared, i need you there

so i'll dream a dream of you
