I'll Sleep When I'm Dead

It's the same each and every night Glare at my screen with two big bloodshot eyes I'm stuck, self-torturing My meds are failing me Internal clock in smithereens Can't fix this, I'm hopeless My eyes are stapled open wide As I lay down on my side I am bouncing off these walls Notice my hands begin to twitch Unprovoked assaulting of my conscious wit Me and the TV are enemies Sickening static surrounds my mind I'm loosing time, and realizing That after days of thought That I'm stuck, self-torturing My meds are failing me Internal clock in smithereens Can't fix this, I'm hopeless My eyes are stapled open wide As I lay down on my side I am bouncing off these walls As I focus on the clock Time stands still but I cannot I should strap myself in bed I guess I'll sleep when I am dead Talk to myself Lie in the darkness, so content As the sun begins to rise I can barely shut my eyes This crazed, delirious mess Laughing at everything I see My sanity is spent Just tell me where my time went I'm loosing it! Attention: All insomniacs, Please raise your right hand And kindly repeat after me I guess I'll sleep when I am dead! 'Cause I'm stuck, self-torturing My meds are failing me Internal clock in smithereens Can't fix this, I'm hopeless My eyes are stapled open wide As I lay down on my side (my side) I am bouncing off these walls (I am bouncing off these walls) As I focus on the clock Time stands still but I cannot (time stands still) I should strap myself in bed I guess I'll sleep when I am dead I guess I'll sleep when I am --- I'll Sleep When I'm Dead - Set It Off
