Sleep

Whoever it was who announced to the world
That your body fails to sleep until you've turned over at least once
Was a cruel motherfucker with a death wish
It might have been false
Based on nothing at all
But hearing that didn't help the lack of sleep and a conscience that could never dream
As my mind fixates and renders totally helpless

It's honestly selfish
The way my brain just leaves me in the dust
Lights on but there's nobody home
Dark room but the walls drone and drone
Whispеring air but I'm lying on my own
It's honestly hellish
The way my mind fixatеs on simply being awake
I'm exhausted, you see
But I don't care about me
Sleep is merely a fantasy

Why can't I achieve the basic needs for me to operate
As a human being in this wretched way in this wretched state in this wretched place
Why can't I achieve the basic needs for me to operate
As a human being in this wretched way in this wretched state in this wretched place

Why can't I just
Sleep for one more
Day, I'd never have to
Wake, I'd never have to
