Meltonin taken nightly To combat insomnia Causes one to wake up more Due to the dreams it causes Trying to convey some meaning That you assign yourself Waking up gasping Screaming for air Feeing like you can't breathe Dreams are for the sleeping Hope is for the dead A one man happy show A starving artist Who does it all Not for some vague philosophical end But because he doesn't like the taste of food Light bulbs flicker And the demons come And I'm left here wishing I can just sleep soundly

Melatonic Insomnia
Meltonin taken nightly To combat insomnia Causes one to wake up more Due to the dreams it causes Trying to convey some meaning That you assign yourself Waking up gasping Screaming for air Feeing like you can't breathe Dreams are for the sleeping Hope is for the dead A one man happy show A starving artist Who does it all Not for some vague philosophical end But because he doesn't like the taste of food Light bulbs flicker And the demons come And I'm left here wishing I can just sleep soundly
