Another Manic Morning/ Another Sleepless Night
I guess I hoped that you
Would get some sleep last night
That come the break of dawn
Things would be alright
But here we are again
And you haven’t slept a wink
Relapse is a ghastly cavern
And you’re standing on the brink
You’re smiling like a maniac
And you rattle on and on
But I was up late worrying
Forgive me if I yawn
Your eyes are open wide
Like you’ve had too much caffeine
I know where this is going
But you’ve made it three years clean
If you could just get sleep
Maybe you’d wake up okay
And these monsters that you battle
Would simply go away
I lie to myself now
Just so I can make it through
I know that you’re in pain
But don’t you know, I’m hurting too?
I know it’s not my battle
And I can’t make you see the light
But I’m so tired of the darkness
And I’m so weary from the fight
And I guess I hoped by now
That this would’ve come to pass
But since it didn’t, won’t you try
To get some sleep at last
