Insomnia
Eyes wide open, struggling to close
mind with no rest, makes me very upset
I wont sleep tonight, tomorrow night, or the night after that.
I cant. I wont sleep without saying goodnight.
sitting awake for hours, restlessly; very aware of insomnia's powers.
thinking about you, the grass, the flowers.
clocks ticking.. slower and slower
body with no sleep, makes me very weak.
I wont sleep tonight, tomorrow night, or the night after that. I cant
I wont sleep without telling you goodbye
rocking back and forth, ive been sitting awake for hours and hours
sitting; very aware of insomnia's powers.
I wont sleep tonight, I cant..
not without telling you I love you and goodnight.
