If we are puppets,
Then sleepiness
Is a dangerous
Puppeteer.
He creeps up on you
And hijacks your
Mind and body
Your eyes are closing
Your body feels heavy
Your head may drop off
Anytime
Your shoulders are drooping
Your feet are weary
Your back supports you
No more
Your head is swaying
Your body is aching
Oh how you wish you were
In bed
You can’t hear properly
You can’t speak properly
You don’t care
Anymore...
...he whispers in your ear
And this is when
Sleepiness
Slips you onto
His puppet strings
And starts to sway
Your bearings
One, two
One, two
You plod on
Left, right
Left, right
Your vision starts to spin
You can’t hear properly
You can’t speak properly
You don’t care
Anymore...
...he whispers in your ear
Continuing on
Your way
You know what you’re doing
But yet, don’t notice
Anything
Around you
Until that loud beep
Jolts you from your sleep
And brings you out of
The puppeteer's spell
The puppet strings
Are broken
And you are left
To face reality
The fact that you could've should've
Died
You can’t hear properly
You can’t speak properly
You don’t care
Anymore...
...he whispers in your ear
And this is why I need more than 6 hours of sleep...
