I don’t want to sleep There are too many noises (Too many voices) 
The tick 
 Tick 
 Ticking of the clock
 And the silent buzz
 Of street lamps
 Outside my window
 I can hear her breathing
 Like the wind
 Rushing through the trees 
My heart beat
 Pulsing in my chest
 It gets harder to breathe
 Take it slow
 Count the seconds My mind is so awake
 But my eyelids 
Are falling 
closed
 And i am choking 
 
Inhaling
 Smoke and demons
 Exhaling
 Carbon dioxide And ash clouds My hands are shaky And my fingers 
Are burning red 
I feel an electric shock
 Jolt through my body
 Then entire numbness

Time keeping
I don’t want to sleep There are too many noises (Too many voices) 
The tick 
 Tick 
 Ticking of the clock
 And the silent buzz
 Of street lamps
 Outside my window
 I can hear her breathing
 Like the wind
 Rushing through the trees 
My heart beat
 Pulsing in my chest
 It gets harder to breathe
 Take it slow
 Count the seconds My mind is so awake
 But my eyelids 
Are falling 
closed
 And i am choking 
 
Inhaling
 Smoke and demons
 Exhaling
 Carbon dioxide And ash clouds My hands are shaky And my fingers 
Are burning red 
I feel an electric shock
 Jolt through my body
 Then entire numbness
barelybreathing
