I lie awake whilst parts of my body shake
Awake I lay with no other option to take
The hyperactivity I feel in me is a motor I'm unable to stop
I've always got to move, got to fidget until my brain goes pop!
It's been hours since I took the sleeping pills
People always tell me "leave space between them and meals"
You're frustrated with me because I'm unable to sleep
I'm just frustrated with me because I feel so weak
Everybody else is already sleeping
I'd definitely rather be dreaming
I'm sat here 6:06am
However my brain's already got it's own plan
I never understood the way my brain works
Others never understand and mostly it hurts
This motor in my brain is always in full speed
If only someone could tell me what the fuck I need!
My brain is on go, that's just who I am
I may not be normal or know where I stand
I'm not normal so please will you see
This messed up motor I have is ADHD
