Cigarettes and coffee At midnight every night People wonder why I don't sleep But I don't question it Nor do I care at all.
Sleep never did me any good I was always exhausted anyway. Nightmares took my mind And passed it between their grimy fingers. I do not wish to be subjected to that again.
Now, as a self-induced insomniac These nightmares merely come true Or they show up In the form of hallucinations.
I guess when I found slumber I had a better grip on my emotions. But so what? I am still out of control either way.
Sleep or no sleep I am a sad and lonely Shell of a human being And I pray every night That I will be okay again someday.
