The night settles in The dark crawls on my skin The sleepiness never comes My heart sounds like a drum The silence drives me crazy My vision never gets hazy I wish for the moon to go down So I could hear at least one sound The old house creaks It feels like it's been weeks The clock seems unmoving My sleepiness is not improving My eyes feel glued open My mind feels so broken The minutes turn to hours My tongue is feeling sour At 2am insanity bites I need to turn on the lights Where the hell is the sun? I'll only sleep if I use the gun The fear draws near My vision is still crystal clear I pray to god for sleep I start to shake and weep 4am is when I decide I want to tear out my eyes The dark is my blanket But I just want to yank it 7am. The sun is here The sounds are back, I can finally hear The light is now my best friend And the night has finally come to an end

Hours on Hours
The night settles in The dark crawls on my skin The sleepiness never comes My heart sounds like a drum The silence drives me crazy My vision never gets hazy I wish for the moon to go down So I could hear at least one sound The old house creaks It feels like it's been weeks The clock seems unmoving My sleepiness is not improving My eyes feel glued open My mind feels so broken The minutes turn to hours My tongue is feeling sour At 2am insanity bites I need to turn on the lights Where the hell is the sun? I'll only sleep if I use the gun The fear draws near My vision is still crystal clear I pray to god for sleep I start to shake and weep 4am is when I decide I want to tear out my eyes The dark is my blanket But I just want to yank it 7am. The sun is here The sounds are back, I can finally hear The light is now my best friend And the night has finally come to an end
