I'll Sleep When I'm Dead- Set It Off

18 1 3
                                    

It's the same each and every night 

Glare at my screen with two big blood shot eyes 

I'm stuck self torturing 

My meds are failing me 

Internal clock in smithereens 

Can't fix this 

I'm hopeless


My eyes are stapled open wide

As I lay down on my side

I am bouncing off these walls 


Notice my hands begin to twitch

Unprovoked assaulting of my conscious wit

Me and the TV

Are enemies 

Sickening static surrounds my mind 

I'm loosing time in realizing 

That after days of thought that 


I'm stuck self torturing 

My meds are failing me 

Internal clock in smithereens 

Can't fix this 

I'm hopeless 


My eyes are stapled open wide

As I lay down on my side

I am bouncing off these walls 

As I focus on the clock

Time stands still but I cannot 

I should strap myself in bed

I guess I'll sleep when I am dead 


Talk to myself 

Lying in darkness so content 

As the sun begins to rise 

I can barely shut my eyes 


This crazed 

Delirious mess 

Laughing at everything I see

My sanity is spent 

Just tell me where my time went 

I'm loosing it 


Attention

All insomniacs please raise your right hand 

And kindly repeat after me    

I guess I'll sleep when I am dead 


Cause I'm stuck self touring 

My meds are failing me 

Internal clock in smithereens 

Can't fix this 

I'm hopeless 


My eyes are stapled open wide

As I lay down on my side

I am bouncing off these walls  

As I focus on the clock

Time stands still but I cannot

I should strap myself in bed

I guess I'll sleep when I am dead


I guess I'll sleep when I am
