It's the same each and every night.
|
Glare at my screen with two big bloodshot eyes.
|
I'm stuck self-torturing; my meds are failing me.
|
Internal clock in smithereens.
|
Can't fix this, I'm hopeless.
|
|
My eyes are stapled open wide,
|
As I lay down on my side.
|
I am bouncing off these walls.
|
|
Notice my hands begin to twitch.
|
Unprovoked assaulting of my conscious wit.
|
Me and the TV are enemies.
|
Sickening static surrounds my mind.
|
I'm losing time, and realizing that
|
After days of thought that I'm
|
Stuck self-torturing; my meds are failing me.
|
Internal clock in smithereens.
|
Can't fix this, I'm hopeless.
|
|
My eyes are stapled open wide,
|
As I lay down on my side.
|
I am bouncing off these walls.
|
As I focus on the clock,
|
Time stands still, but I cannot.
|
I should strap myself in bed.
|
I guess I'll sleep when I am dead.
|
|
Talk to myself, lie in the darkness so content.
|
As the sun begins to rise, I can barely shut my eyes.
|
This crazed, delirious mess; laughing at everything I see.
|
My sanity is spent. Just tell me where our time went.
|
I'm losing it.
|
|
Attention: All insomniacs, please raise your right hand.
|
And kindly, repeat after me.
|
"I guess I'll sleep when I am dead!"
|
|
'Cause I'm stuck self-torturing; my meds are failing me.
|
Internal clock in smithereens.
|
Can't fix this, I'm hopeless.
|
My eyes are stapled open wide,
|
As I lay down on my side.
|
I am bouncing off these walls.
|
As I focus on the clock,
|
Time stands still, but I cannot.
|
I should strap myself in bed.
|
I guess I'll sleep when I am dead.
|
|
I guess I'll sleep when I am.
