Description
I close my eyes, and nothing happensI don't visit dreams, I just see blackness
Sleep refuses me for another night
It refuses to take up eight hours of my time
I blink for an hour, and then I get up
Can I die from insomnia?
Because I'd rather be of the dead than stuck in this haze
It's as if my whole world is set a blaze
And I stand by just watching it all burn
everything seeming so far away
and it has come to the point where I don't care anymore
So let it all be reduced to embers and ash
I still can't sleep, I still can't escape from this harsh realness
Now I know the true meaning of a death sentence
Without sleep, I cannot laugh, I cannot cry
I just stand still, as the whole world speeds by
Why can't I just let it go, why can't I clear my head?
Will anything ever answer me?
Please, Heavily medicate me, Please lay me to rest
I miss my dreams
I miss my paradise found behind my closed eyes
Now I have nothing but day to day, and night to night
Why am I trapped here, why is it so blurry
Why is the world in such a hurry
Why can't I close my eyes like I used to and just fade away
into a sound slumber, escaping life for awhile
I have no refuge now, just days that are long, and nights that never seem to end
The minutes have slowed
I have a theory that someone stole the batteries from my clock
Because it seems like it refuses to tick
But I've been paranoid a lot lately, so I'm used to it
I swear I'm going insane, why isn't insomnia considered sick?
Why can't I drift like I used to drift, be what I used to be
What is keeping me here?!
Is there something that I have yet to see?
Is it something you can't show me in my sleep?
STOP IT.
STOP TRAPPING ME.
STOP KILLING ME.
It's too late though,
I'M ALREADY DEAD.
..on the inside anyway.
Now I guess this is my bodies method of waiting
for the rest to wear away.
