This exhaustions overwhelming
It's draining and it's grueling
Day in and day out
This exhaustion it is ruling
The exhaustion shows on time
From lack of sleep I get
Night on top of night
This exhaustion is a threat
Exhaustion is a drug
I didn't ask to take
Insomnia is an addiction
Exhausted up so late
This exhaustion never stops
My eyes they barely close
Now I can not hide it
Exhaustion starts to show
This exhaustion is extreme
Year and a half now tired
This insomniacs had enough
This exhaustion it's for hire
This exhaustions yours to take
Please take it off my back
So I can rest a bit
I'm exhausted, sleep I lack

Holiday is here
Holiday is here
Now let little genius jump and express his felicity
As he feel the breeze outside boarding school blow merrily
Oh! How long was spent in that chrysalis?
Rapped up with books and walls of the classes
Plethora instructions and some castigations
Now currently evanescent, gone are rhythmic exhaustions
A gemic position, such innocent treasure like a crown laden with sapphires
And the result, oh the talisman with remarks that shields stern scold of Father's
Jump! Jump! Be idyllic
No more canes, bye to the bully
Now dream of Mother's dulcet songs and pets
(Dream of) the rhapsodic hugs, favorite foods and glee in the nest
(Dream of) the radiant flowers, fun with siblings and free Mondays
(Dream of) the lovely expectations and plays

Exhaustion has set in.
Barriers to the monster within,
they've collapsed with ease.
For all around take note,
barriers to the monster within,
they have fallen; it was loose!
For all around take note.
Eyelids will cage the beast,
they have fallen, it was loose.
They've collapsed with ease,
eyelids will cage the beast!
Exhaustion has set in...
