Restless staring at the back of my eyelids
Thoughts pinging around in an endless game of pong
What to cook, what to write
God please tell me I turned the stove off
~
Finally I can feel it sleep has caught up
But wait what's that noise did something harrumph
No that's ridiculous everyone else is asleep
And just like that sleep creeps away from me
~
I count sheep, I count clouds
Doing mathematics tables in my mind
Get up to the millions then lose focus in my mind
Go have a smoke that'll calm my nerves
Wait I looked at the internet sleep can wait some more
~
Alright let's try this again eyelids closed
Tired enough now I fall off undisturbed
No dreams once again though I guess that isn't true
Without dreams you'll go mad fun fact for all of you
~
I haven't remembered my dreams in about ten years time
For the better in all honesty used to have nightmares all the time
My brain finally stopped showing them though
So for that I guess I'm glad
But now sleep is just a hall of darkness no happy or sad
~
Awake once again
Sleep the ultimate time machine
Close my eyes experience darkness
And time passes for me
~
Awake once again
And yet all I want is five more minutes to sleep
