Insomnia

No matter which way you face, you cannot stand backwards on the stairs,

its such a stupid thing I can’t see why I care,

but its one in the morning and I’m randomly awake,

I would just like some sleep, oh for heavens sake

If you bite hard enough you can take off your finger,

I don’t wanna think that, but those impulsive thoughts still linger,

like a voice running round making a mess of my head,

replaying, replaying every dumb thing I’ve said

Do all your friends hate you or would you just being weird,

honestly the day couldn’t have been as bad as you fear,

but what did he mean when you said “you look okay”

and does God even listen when I try to pray

Its three in the morning and it’s getting kinda old,

better open the phone, maybe it’ll help if I scroll,

but every other tic-tok is just another shill,

trying to sell me this dress or another diet pill

A broken clock tells you what time it died,

and how many oceans have these eyes cried,

how many times did I pass that man on the street,

and who are the people I’ll never get to meet

The suns coming up, dear God this is lame,

but what if I my house just went up in flames,

I know that it’s crazy this thought in my mind,

but you’d think that it’d be easy to sleep and unwind

But my thoughts keep on running and running it seems,

how great it would be if those thoughts turned to dreams,

most trees where here first, and will still be here when I die,

oh look at that, the suns in the sky

Alarms going off, its time to get going,

looks like that’s another sleep that I’ll be forgoing,

better make me some coffee and call this night a wrap,

maybe when I get home, I’ll have better luck with a nap.
