Nightmares asleep, nightmares awake No where to run, no place to escape Success is crushed, beaten to the ground Silent cries of help that make no sound My mind races as I try to sleep Battling to put my mind at ease My body feels weighed down and heavy My brain is hyperaware of every Little noise that creeps in Paranoid that it's an impending sin I try to sleep, I try to sleep It doesn't work, I don't succeed I'm asking myself "what's wrong with me?" "What's the point?" I'm saying Its all just frustrating I'm left taunted by freedom, held down by chains Questioning all of this sleepless pain
