it's the same each and 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 and the TV are enemies

Sickening static surrounds my mind

I'm losing time and 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

And 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

And kindly repeat after me

I guess I'll sleep when I am dead

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

And 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
