Whoever it was who announced to the world

That your body fails to sleep until you've turned over at least once

Was a cruel motherfucker with a death wish

It might have been false

Based on nothing at all

But hearing that didn't help the lack of sleep and a conscience that could never dream

As my mind fixates and renders totally helpless

It's honestly selfish

The way my brain just leaves me in the dust

Lights on but there's nobody home

Dark room but the walls drone and drone

Whispеring air but I'm lying on my own

It's honestly hellish

The way my mind fixatеs on simply being awake

I'm exhausted, you see

But I don't care about me

Sleep is merely a fantasy

Why can't I achieve the basic needs for me to operate

As a human being in this wretched way in this wretched state in this wretched place

Why can't I achieve the basic needs for me to operate

As a human being in this wretched way in this wretched state in this wretched place

Why can't I just

Sleep for one more

Day, I'd never have to

Wake, I'd never have to
