Do my eyes burn because I'm awake Am I awake because my eyes are burning Am I even awake at all Do I drink coffee because I'm tired Am I tired because I drink coffee Am I even tired at all Am I a writer because I'm an insomniac Am I an insomniac because I'm a writer Am I even a writer at all Does my skull ache from all the whining Am I whining because my skull aches Does it ******* matter anyway These walls are paper thin I feel like screaming into them These walls are sturdier than my bones I feel like walking through them But I have nothing to say And I have no where to go Who the **** am I when I'm not dreaming Have I been dreaming all along Have I ever dreamt at all Why do I care If I even do Or am I just filling the time Because the ceiling becomes a boring sight After eight hours of lying in this bed

Somewhere Between Partially Insane and Entirely Psychotic
Do my eyes burn because I'm awake Am I awake because my eyes are burning Am I even awake at all Do I drink coffee because I'm tired Am I tired because I drink coffee Am I even tired at all Am I a writer because I'm an insomniac Am I an insomniac because I'm a writer Am I even a writer at all Does my skull ache from all the whining Am I whining because my skull aches Does it ******* matter anyway These walls are paper thin I feel like screaming into them These walls are sturdier than my bones I feel like walking through them But I have nothing to say And I have no where to go Who the **** am I when I'm not dreaming Have I been dreaming all along Have I ever dreamt at all Why do I care If I even do Or am I just filling the time Because the ceiling becomes a boring sight After eight hours of lying in this bed
