It's the same each and every night

Glare at my screen with two big bloodshot eyes

I'm stuck, self-torturing

My meds are failing me

Internal clock in smithereens

Can't fix this, I'm hopeless

My eyes are stapled open wide

As I lay down on my side

I am bouncing off these walls

Notice my hands begin to twitch

Unprovoked assaulting of my conscious wit

Me and the TV are enemies

Sickening static surrounds my mind

I'm losing time and realizing

That after days of thought

That I'm stuck, self-torturing

My meds are failing me

Internal clock in smithereens

Can't fix this, I'm hopeless

My eyes are stapled open wide

As I lay down on my side

I am bouncing off these walls

As I focus on the clock

Time stands still but I cannot

I should strap myself in bed

I guess I'll sleep when I am dead

Talk to myself

Lie in the darkness, so content

As the Sun begins to rise

I can barely shut my eyes

This crazed, delirious mess

Laughing at everything I see

My sanity is spent

Just tell me where my time went

I'm losing it!

Attention

All insomniacs

Please raise your right hand

And kindly repeat after me

I guess I'll sleep when I am dead!

Cause I'm stuck, self-torturing

My meds are failing me

Internal clock in smithereens

Can't fix this, I'm hopeless

My eyes are stapled open wide

As I lay down on my side (my side)

I am bouncing off these walls (I am bouncing off these walls)

As I focus on the clock

Time stands still but I cannot (time stands still)

I should strap myself in bed

I guess I'll sleep when I am dead

I guess I'll sleep when I am
