How many times can I not sleep?
It's getting worse everyday,
I'm losing more sleep every week.
My bloodshot eyes worry my mother,
but I can't talk to her
because I'm nothing but a bother.
I don't sleep walk, I day walk.
When I think I'm thinking
people actually hear me talk.
My mind no longer reacts.
Everything's a blur
I have an increase in panic attacks.
I pop a sleep pill
and I try to lay very still.
My alarm clock went off again.
Another sleepless night at the end.

Everything's a blur
I have an increase in panic attacks.
I pop a sleep pill
and I try to lay very still.
My alarm clock went off again.
Another sleepless night at the end.
