It's the same each & every night
Glare at my screen with two big bloodshot eyes
I'm stuck self-torturing
My meds are failing me
Internal clock in smithereens

Can't fix this, I'm hopeless
My eyes are stapled open wide
As I lay down on my side

I am bouncing off these walls
Notice my hands begin to twitch
Unprovoked assaulting of my conscious wit
Me & the TV are enemies
Sickening static surrounds my mind
I'm losing time
& realizing that after days of thought that
I'm stuck self-torturing
My meds are failing me

Internal clock in smithereens
Can't fix this
I'm hopeless
My eyes are stapled open wide
As I lay down on my side
I am bouncing off these walls
As I focus on the clock

Time stands still, but I cannot
I should strap myself in bed
I guess I'll sleep when I am dead
Talk to myself, lie in the darkness so content
As the sun begins to rise

I can barely shut my eyes
This crazed, delirious mess
Laughing at everything I see

My sanity is spent
Just tell me where my time went
I'm losing it
Attention: All insomniacs, please raise your right hand
& kindly, repeat after me
"I GUESS I'LL SLEEP WHEN I AM DEAD!"
'Cause I'm stuck self-torturing
My meds are failing me
Internal clock in smithereens
Can't fix this
I'm hopeless
My eyes are stapled open wide
As I lay down on my side
I am bouncing off these walls
As I focus on the clock
Time stands still, but I cannot
I should strap myself in bed
I guess I'll sleep when I am dead
I guess I'll sleep when I am
