I Can'T Sleep

I wish I could go to sleep If only I could tempt a dream But I'm not the Sandman I'm just the sad man Closing the blinds As the sun peeks inside The birds are singing And tears are stinging My bed is a labyrinth A maze I'm amazed there's no rent I twist and turn all night R.E.M. is a brutal foe to fight Because it's lose lose for me When it's morning I see Wonder why I pay for the sleeping meds Maybe I'll take the alcohol instead And get a half-sleep At least I'll be counting sheep Wake up the angst is real Sand bites into my skin I feel My bed is like a desert And my head hurts I'll drink the caffeine Knowing I'm a sad fiend And as I get out of bed I think about dreams instead If only I could tempt a dream Perhaps it's not as hard as it seems...
