I can't sleep

there's a man with a key to my house
I'll let these bullets fly
Seven birds in the sky
Flying South

I can't sleep

'cause you're cuddled up
And you don't a ****
what I see

I can't sleep.

I lay in my bed
With this gun to my head
I can't speak
Up

I'm up.

Alone in the night
With a black burning bright
In my teeth

I. Can't. Sleep.

I'm back in the house
quiet like a mouse
I hear you breathe

I can't sleep - I can't hear myself think
I can feel myself right on the brink
Something most people wouldn't believe
Of me

At your door with my gun
Seven Shots
Could you run?

I don't think
I don't blink
I just sink

This lead through your head
Through the floor and your bed
Through the wall and you fall
After all of it all

Hush, Baby
Now go to sleep

So much for that year long lease
Go to sleep
This **** ain't gonna cut it
