Days go by
The hours tick away
As the days turn into weeks
All I can do is ask "why?"
And hope this is the day
When I finally fall asleep.
The moon crosses the night sky
as it's done every night in the past
My eyes stay open
And I start to cry
Afraid of the nightmare returning fast
I feel myself becoming broken.
The headache is back again
My eyes grow red
Yawns start their attack
My eyes are open, yet the dreams begin
Have the mermaids been fed?
Did I just see a donkey turn into Shaq?
Oh no, not now, I'm at work
Thats was just my dream, not real snow
Wake up! Wake up!
Shaking my head to get out the quirks
Six more hours till it's time to go
I just want to sleep and not wake up.
Of course now I'm home
And sleep is nowhere to be found
I'm looking at the bottle of little white pills
Hoping against hope
Dreams and sleep will not allow
My body and mind to chill
