I don't sleep...
I drift in a land I between
I don't sleep...
I close my eyes and it's either
Like a blink and I wake up exhausted
With no dreams
I don't sleep
Because when I do
I dream of monsters chasing me
And blood shed
When I sleep
That's when I'm reminded
I'm all alone
When I remember all the things buried in my subcontinent
So I don't sleep
I drift in the land between
Wake and sleep
Where I can rest just for a moment because I'm off again
I don't have time to sleep
To many people need me
So I rely on caffeine and nicotine
Just to keep me on my feet
Because I can't sleep
The voices get to Loud
I can't shut them out
So I lay in my room
In the dark and
I pretend.
I pretend that I'm somewhere else
I pretend someone wants me
I pretend that I'm worthy
Because if I don't
The nightmares and monsters
Will continue to haunt me
I don't sleep
