Hey everybody, This one is from 09-05-13. Had a rough night talking to my fiance seablackwithink about some things that happened to me in my childhood. I couldn’t sleep so I wrote this…
I Can’t Sleep:
It’s past 5am on a Thursday morning.
I can’t sleep, I can’t sleep.
My mind won’t rest, flickers, soaring.
I can’t sleep, I can’t sleep.
Thoughts of every thought I’ve had are roaring.
I can’t sleep, I can’t sleep.
Spiraling memories banging in my head.
I can’t sleep, I can’t sleep.
I want to be lying with you in bed.
I can’t sleep, I can’t sleep.
Haunted by things, difficult to be said.
I can’t sleep, I can’t sleep.
Pages begging to be saturated with ink.
I can’t sleep, I can’t sleep.
Even though I feel tired and weak.
I can’t sleep, I can’t sleep.
Look deep within to sneak a peek.
I can’t sleep, I can’t sleep.
No one deserves this. No one should feel this.
I can’t sleep I can’t sleep.
Try to stay positive but can’t help being pissed.
I can’t sleep, I can’t sleep.
The past has past, away it can’t be wished.
I can’t sleep, I can’t sleep.
Night to night never know if Sandman shows.
I can’t sleep, I can’t sleep.
Like a shrub in the wind, bending anyway the wind blows.
I can’t sleep, I can’t sleep.
Slumber near my grasp. Nope there it goes.
I can’t sleep, I can’t sleep.
At least on good nights I lay awake with a smile.
I can’t sleep, I can’t sleep.
Tonight without walking I travelled miles & miles.
I can’t sleep, I can’t sleep.
Completely restless, haven’t been this way in a while.
I can’t sleep, I can’t sleep.
Body & mind out of sync, so, so tired.
I can’t sleep, I can’t sleep.
Mind overrides the body, too, too wired.
I can’t sleep, I can’t sleep.
Soul caught between paradise and mire.
I can’t sleep, I can’t sleep.
Still wide awake, still writing, 06:05
I can’t sleep, I can’t sleep.
Almost totally drained, I feel so alive.
I can’t sleep, I can’t sleep.
Won’t stop now, I can survive.
I can’t sleep, I can’t sleep.
Might just write til this pen runs dry.
I can’t sleep, I can’t sleep.
Whatever it takes, keep a tear from my eye.
I can’t sleep, I can’t sleep.
Working it out, hey I can try.
I can’t sleep, I can’t sleep.
Lake with ducks, hearing traffic picking up.
I can’t sleep, I can’t sleep.
It’s up to me how I fill my cup.
I can’t sleep, I can’t sleep.
Gonna be a long day, don’t give a fuck.
I can’t sleep, I can’t sleep.
Sun will soon rise, blinding light.
I can’t sleep, I can’t sleep.
Moon takes a rest, eyes closed tight.
I can’t sleep, I can’t sleep.
Some cosmic joke, that’s all right.
I can’t sleep, I can’t sleep.
I can’t think straight anymore. Maybe I’ll count some fucking sheep.
Since I can’t sleep.
