The time is 3:50 am and I know that soon the cock will crow Why I stay up so late every night is something I want to know Many are times I get in bed early yearning for the arrival of a dream Yet I lay awake, eyes closed because sleeping is harder than it seems Don't you assume I'm up because of a girl for it won't sound right If the girl of my dreams is the reason why I can't sleep at night For in that state of sleeplessness, I'm flooded with regretful memories I think of points I could have used in past arguments to win my adversaries I become vulnerable to the voices in my head who gets me offended By telling me I'm never enough and suicide is the only way I can end it Whenever I fall asleep, my inner demons prey on me; their victim But I know I'll never find rest until I find a way to defeat them I'm optimistic that one day I will sleep peacefully, I believe I will But for now as soon as day breaks I'm going to get some sleeping pills
