I'm in bed so early
I've turned off every light,
Darkness surrounds me
Here, in the still of the night.
The clock drags forward
Yet sleep still evades me,
Feeling ever haggard
Wishing for slumber so deeply.
My eyes feel so heavy
And my body goes numb,
I try to get comfy
But I'm consumed by boredom.
Dawn fast approaches
And not a wink I've slept,
Tomorrow I'll be in pieces.
Sleep seems such a foreign concept.

Yet again I lie here awake. Waiting for sleep. I pray for goodness sake. Soon I'll be in a slumber, oh so deep. The night engulfs me. The sheets surround me. I'm as comfortable as can be.
As I sit here alone in the dark. With just the flicker of the TV. My eyes feel oh so heavy. My mind is all so hazy. I want to rest my weary head. Let my body just relax and sigh.
As I lay alone in my bed, Endless thoughts Run through my head. I want to scream. I need my rest, I long to dream. Eyelids won't even droop. My brain is running An endless loop.
Together we lie, side by side, Come closer... *R-i-p.* "what's that?" Toss. Turn. Pull away. *Riiiiiip* Don't move, argh, "Shh, its just the cat." *drip*drip* now the fucking tap... Groan.
Drip drop, drop drop, When your in bed at night, Groaning, you get out of bed, And switch on the bathroom light.
My mind is going haywire The least used corners I admire Wide awake and grinning Maybe my mind is spinning They all sleep sleep sleep While I try not to make a peep Shh mind. Be quiet.
A good nights sleep is always in need, But a good nights sleep never comes to me. I have school in the morning, And at 7 AM I'll be yawning, Because that sleep never gave me my dream.
Sleep sleep sleep, Still can't sleep Even though I'm tired and crumpled in bed in a strange heap.
