Sometimes want to close my eyes
Let the blackness in
Surrender to peace of death
Allowing reaper to win

Sometimes want to lay my head down
In a permanent sleep
Lips will never part again to sing
Or make another peep

Sometimes darkness pulls me in
At 2am resting in bed
If I have not slept when the clock strikes four
Usually say "**** it" and stay up instead

And more reckless when I drive to work
Than can admit out loud
Remembering times before I was so ******* up
Sometimes I wish I still made my parents proud
