Awake at night
Awake always
Sleep is a privilege
Can I have it anyways?

Living like a zombie
Numb and being in a daze
When I look in the mirror
I hardly recognize this face

Awake at night
Awake always
Sleep is hard to come by
Can I have it anyways?

Droopy eyes
Skin white as snow
I feel cold as ice
And on the inside it's hollow

Awake at night
Awake always
Sleep can be terrifying
Can I have it anyways?

Nightmares come and go
In those 3 hours a night
I wake up sweating, feeling scared
And still tired, always tired
