Insomnia

Nine o clock
I lay down in bed
thoughts of the day
filling my head
the seconds creep by
and shadows grow
engulfing my room
and all that i know

Ten o clock
I still lie here awake
I long for the sleep
to take me away

Eleven o clock
you won't let me rest
just let me gooooooo

When I close my eyes
I see your face
Your burning gaze
I can't escape
but when i sleep
you haunt my dreams
please let this end
just let me be

I roll over and stare
into the bright red glow
one fifteen
how did i know?

two o clock
I start to weep
you broke my heart
you stole my sleep
when will this end?
I wish i knew
i'm crying here
because of you

Its two thirty
and Im still here
i close my eyes
and you appear
i speak to you
but you make no sound
you only stareeeeeee

When I close my eyes
I see your face
Your burning gaze
I can't escape
but when i sleep
you haunt my dreams
please let this end
just let me be

(guitar beeping)
the alarm goes off
and ends my pain
its five o clock
But i don't wake
I'm trapped with you
inside my head
I'm fast asleep.
