There’s not a cloud in the sky

But it sounds like rain

Oh, I know it’s only traffic

But, is it a crime to just pretend sometimes?

Dr. Sandman slipped a bit of something into my coffee

I can’t seem to sleep right

Oh, but is it blue yet?

I don’t want to open the blinds

It’s six again, but which kind?

They both still look alike

Sometimes the wrong side of the bed

Is just a bit duskier than you’d expect

Oh, I’d paint it blue

But, well, my paint’s not quite right

A little white noise wouldn’t hurt a thing

But that’s just the problem

 Silence gives me too much time to think

Now, if only time could be a bit more silent

Oh, well, now scratch the blue

It’s all turning pink somehow

And then this white is such a jarring hue

I can’t blink quite right

Not with this palette

Not a single wink

Seven in nine

It gets even longer every time

But it’s always catching up

I can never find the end before it finds me

Chasing tails

Playing tag

Child’s play
