Lack sleep like the many things in my life
I think forward during the night that I'm already thinking about a wife
I cut my insides with thoughts of sharp  through the blades of my mind's knife.

Sleep, Sleep, Sleep,
where you be.
Barely tried to know as you left before the sun's wake
As you were the one who loves to dessert me
Morning breakfast of sunlight makes me realize that real sun rays plays to being fake.

Why do I prey on myself robbing away my own sleep
Falling down into a pit of my thoughts and troubles of deep.

In the days I crawl out from my eyes to reach for my sleep.

Lacking upon a thousand hours of rest
The morning noises quickly rises up. Telling myself "Get up, get yourself dressed"

What did you expect,
For sleep to be but a friend
When it takes joy in leaving you  depressed
When shall it end?

But I still think I sleep for way too Long
Given at chance I could sleep to an awaiting dawn
Yet as I wake I don't get up feeling rested and strong.

I lack the sleep
something I won't fear to admit
But just try to reach for me inside of this pit.
Help me overcome this load of lack sleep.
