Staying Up

No food to eat, all the money's been wasted from last week I can't even leave, so I sleep in the basement, making up rap beats Hot cup of tea, it's four o'clock in the middle of the night, and I can't sleep It's all on the peak, so bad I can taste it while it eats me How can I sleep if I don't have dreams? I just have nightmares How can it be? I still believe something is out there Some part of me feels a little bit naked and empty I'm stuck underneath a few dirty old blankets to comfort me How can I sleep if I don't have dreams? I just have nightmares How can it be? I still believe something is out there How can I sleep if I don't have dreams? I just have nightmares How can it be? I still believe something is out there And there's a light, and I can see why I'm still alive Mommy won't lie, 'cause if she did, I would've died All the time I sit and try, you think I'd be down Every night, I'm sick and why, oh, I'm staying up this time How can I sleep if I don't have dreams? I just have nightmares How can it be? I still believe something is out there How can I sleep if I don't have dreams? I just have nightmares How can it be? I still believe something is out there
