[Chorus 1]

I can't seem to ever get enough sleep

Walking through my nightmares so I sight see

And It feels like I'm drowning and I can't breathe

I just can't sleep

[Verse 1]

I can't seem to ever catch a break

More than my life is now at stake

And I write till I fill up the page

My pen is a drain

And it's tied to my brain

So this ink is a stain

One of my top ten fears is never living

They say education frees you but the bills are a prison

More options means less options

I got to pay but I get payed non-cents

Nine cents is all that I have in my wallet

But if I dig enough maybe I'd find a dime

Maybe I'd call my family if I find the time

If I knew I wouldn't fail then I would try

To live the life that I always wanted

But I gotta let it go and forget about it

Move on and finally learn to live without it

And be like everyone else

Man the world is crowded, dam

[Chorus 2]

I can't seem to ever get enough sleep

Walking through my nightmares so I sight see

And It feels like I'm drowning and I can't breathe

I just can't sleep

[Bridge]

I'm barely scratching the surface of this

I wish I was living in ignorant bliss

I'm barely scratching the surface of this

Find the right filter I'm taking a pic

I'm barely scratching the surface of this

You say it is fine, I know what it is

I'm barely scratching the surface of this

I want to feel safe in the place that I live

(Sirens and Glass Shatter)

[Verse 2]

Cause the world is dying and no one cares

Got water rising and no one's scared

People only caught up in their own affairs

And they only care if their speakers blare

And they got a new dance to their new jam

New headline sitting on the news stand

New school shooting, new hashtag, no new plan, no true chance

'nother black innocent shot to death

I know mothers got nothing left

To tell their babies, tell their siblings why their brother left

Spend life in debt

Spend life in the pockets of politicians in office

While they are sitting their watching us die and snuggle they profit

I'm sick and tired of talking

I want some action and progress

Three jobs, can't afford an apartment

The people've run out of options

There is no way you can stop it

Cause we're not walking, we're marching

A better world is our target

And still you wonder why I can't sleep
