No Sleep For The Wicked

It's worse by the day now, every time i lay down

Words come alive in my head and they play loud

It's like they can't find a way out

Wanna pull the plug on their party, it's starting

To worry me, can't get to sleep when i wanna do

How would you feel if your lyrics just followed you?

Everywhere you went from the street to the bed

And repeated through the night everything you said

Tried so many things, pen and a pad

By the side of my bed but it's sending me mad

Every time i recline, i decline to opine

But there's always a rhyme at the back of my mind

Tried sippin on bottles of wine when i dine,

So sleep i can find when it's time for bedtime

Rest my head fine, but it's just no use

Sentences now they forming queues

I reckon, it's worse me than bein heckled

Right now my brains just a broken record

Sleep diminishes, when i start a song

And my mind won't stop cos i always gotta finish it

And when that songs done through to the end

The same track starts all over again

It's like my mind can't function, needs words to munch on

Came to a junction where traffic don't stop

Counting sheep and they never ever go

Losing sleep cause the words just flow

Sounds in my head like a radio

Lay awake all night, no sleep for the wicked

Seems like the verse has become my foe

At war in my head and he don't wanna go

Til i've laid him to rest in the studio

Stay awake all night, no sleep for the wicked

There ain't nothing that's appealing looking at the ceiling

Your eyes wide open wishing you were dreaming

(dreaming) and still the words keep streaming

It's only ever stops when i put em to rest

Then i've shooken the stress, no less

Plus i've tooken the best take let's say i ever coulda taken

Lost weeks of sleep so i had to be patient

You could be forsaken for thinking i'm mental

I let it all out in the vocal booth,

Syllables putting 'em to soulful use

Released from within this ain't a joke it's truth

Once i put em in a song, they can never bother me

What the hell is wrong with me, i didn't choose it

Absurd, why i gotta lock these words in the music

Some would say i'm blessed with a talent and yes

But only when i'm dead will they give it a rest

Tell me what's the reason i'm still fighting demons

I'm asking what is their significance

Tell me what's the reason i'm still fighting demons

I'm pleading, i only wanna get some sleep
