Sleepless
4:00 in the A.M.
Useless to go to bed
I have too many things
Going through my head
Piled up like a train wreck
My mind won't let me rest
Although my body is fatigued
And my sanity is stressed
I'm hard-pressed to find the reason
The method for my madness
This sadness is plaguing me
Driving me to my destiny
Easy enough
For me to just give up
Just to lay down and be run over
Because I have had enough
But you know I'm not that way
Because I need the pain
I feed off the pain
I live for the pain
I will die from the pain
Without it I could never be the same
I bring grief to my family
They don't know how to handle me
A loner I shall always be
As foreseen in my prophecy
Relationships won't have me
There's too much weight to carry
They all start to blissfully
But always end in tragedy
So take the chance and bet on me
51/50 the deck is stacked against me
