Can’t sleep            not even a wink                    you could say I’m restless. No air in my lungs                        i’m left here gasping                                                you could say I’m breathless. The water in my eyes                                done dried up                                                      no more time for tears. After a while I was numb to it all                                                       so I got no                                                                      hopes or fears. My heart tore from my hollow chest                                                        so I ain’t got none                                                                                left for giving. The good part is that                                    you can’t die                                                  if you were never really living.
