Regretful Zleeper

I have been constantly sleeping a million minutes, my dear I have wept about a million tears and I don’t feel cheer I have crept a million miles just to smile ear to ear, Waiting for some kind of relief and happiness to draw near… Just to get here, just to get here Are you all ears? Are you all ears? I am sorry that I felt so much fear Beyond the cheers of yesteryears I am a regretful sleeper I am a careless creeper I am a loud and proud dreamer A waterfall of warped-up lies I am still a believer…a believer… A wise fool in someone else’s eyes I am a regretful sleeper A big-time, terrible regretter Went to the hospital countless times After going to the bar nine out of ten times Went to the hospital countless times Sometimes, I wish I wasn’t a regretful sleeper of my dark childhood and darker adulthood times… I have been feeling horrible most of my life, my lonesome baby I have wept a billion stars in the galaxies up in here, you see? I spiral madly into the universe of what we used to be, Down for some satisfaction and cheerfulness to set me free… Just to get here, just to get here Are you all ears? Are you all ears? I am sorry that I felt so much fear Beyond the cheers of yesteryears I am a regretful sleeper I am a careless creeper I am a loud and proud dreamer A waterfall of warped-up lies I am still a believer…a believer… A wise fool in someone else’s eyes I am a regretful sleeper A big-time, terrible regretter Went to the hospital for suicidal ideations Due to having a blast at the bar last night Went to the hospital for emotional reasons I’m now a regretful sleeper with my might My condolences for making a fool out of me My condolences for being a remorseful, lamentable dreamer My condolences for sleeping for hours on end inadequately But, I am unapologetic cuz I am no longer a regretful sleeper
