Couting Sheep

You sigh into your cup of coffee as you watch the morning news

There goes your good day

There's the knot on the noose

Pop your pill and force a smile

Feign contentment for a while

That's all you know how to do

When the wool is off your eyes

You'll stop counting sheep at night

Cause you'll eat your fill of them during the daytime

When the wool is off your eyes

You'll stop counting sheep at night

Cause you'll eat your fill of them during the daytime

Medicine to make you thin

But puts an end to your dreamin'

Bleeding together, the nights seem to stretch on forever

Morning comes a day too soon

You're back inside your tiny room

Waiting for something, so good at doing nothing

When the wool is off your eyes

You'll stop counting sheep at night

Cause you'll eat your fill of them during the daytime

When the wool is off your eyes

You'll stop counting sheep at night

Cause you'll eat your fill of them during the daytime

As the sunlight filters in

Then your daily dread sets in

The cycle's beginning, and in your head alarms are ringing

Something in you's fast asleep

Afraid to be who you will be

It's a losing battle, so why are you still fighting?

When the wool is off your eyes

You'll stop counting sheep at night

Cause you'll eat your fill of them during the daytime

When the wool is off your eyes

You'll stop counting sheep at night

Cause you'll eat your fill of them during the daytime
