Insomnia

The deep the dark the sleep a complete
release of all the stress you keep
whatever happens inside when you close your eyes
takes away all this the painting named "I"
unclothes the freak in the carnival ride
shows whats underneath the clothes labels and lies
the escape the break, sleep you can have but sleep you cant take
The harder I try the farther it runs away
closin my eyes is my only reply
to the sandman when he comes on by
offerin somethin that no one can replace
sellin some rest and buyin your hate
all he asks is for your gaze
thats a price i cannot pay
when i look at the underside, of the lids that cover my eyes
my gaze shines through to me him and you
to the hated the loved the smooth and serrated
pupils covered but the images still playin
The word wake is a four letter word
fill it in when you flip up the bird
add one a at the beginning and you have my feeling
the eternal state of my mind is awake
sleepless is meaningless its more like dead alive
cause what you got that i dont is a way out of this life
