I can't sleep! It's been happening to me for weeks
I can't seem to keep these corneas free from opening
It's 4:15! And I've been awake since three
And two o'clock and a quarter til and 1:30 and 1:15
I can't sleep! Don't know how many more hours I can lay awake
I'm lucky to get two at night and another one during the day
I'm seeing things! Hallucinations are more frequent
Intensity level of these visuals increases by the minute
I'm hearing things! An escalation of sleep depravation
Melatonin ain't workin and I despise prescription medication
Crazy dreams! My mind's playin tricks on me
The harder I try to close my eyes the more things I see
Ain't something occasionally it's been steadily increasing for four weeks
I'm praying every night "God please grant me serenity"
My body needs! Something more than intermittence please
Focus is less than bleak tongue tied when I try to speak
Additionally I'm short fused mentally I can't think
Concentration's history and these words are far from empty
Additionally I'm short fused and things are beginning to repeat
Concentration's history and these words are far from empty
I can't sleep! Groundhog Day but worse
Enflamed temper with each woodchuck sighting from the earth
Something's gotta give! My mind is overworked
I just wanna exist again and live again this challenge painfully hurts
I see no reward in constant consciousness my thoughts need r.e.m
Next time I close my eyes surprise me by showing me nothin
Let me break away from awakened space for longer than thirty minutes
I'd rather not awake another day with this frustration I'm exhausted
I can't sleep!!!
