My bodies heavy
Craving sleep like a drug
Perhaps these pills coursing in my veins
Have no effect on my immortal mind

The mind that howls at the moon
While my mortal body begs for slumber
Begs these midnight hours
To release me from this sleepless prison

Day turns to night, night turns to day
And yet still my eyes remain open
My mind buzzing, buzzing, buzzing
Questioning me

The darkness strains my eyes
And this tiredness drains my limbs
Insomnia, I'm minutes away from crashing
Let me shut down!

But no my mind simply restarts
And I'm back to square one
In this helpless coma
Where my thoughts hold me hostage
