Sleep When I知 Dead
Racing thoughts
scurrying in my head
Drink! She commands
else be dead
I wave no white flag
war is not lost
however, this affliction
assumes quite a cost
Long are the nights
upon these battlefields
twelve-hour shifts
yet no sleep yields
Still wide awake
I rise in the morning
mind foggy
she offers a warning
I shall demand
some ease tonight
drink you must
before madness takes flight
Manic the tone
racing in my head
fearing you not
I値l sleep when I知 dead
scurrying in my head
Drink! She commands
else be dead
I wave no white flag
war is not lost
however, this affliction
assumes quite a cost
Long are the nights
upon these battlefields
twelve-hour shifts
yet no sleep yields
Still wide awake
I rise in the morning
mind foggy
she offers a warning
I shall demand
some ease tonight
drink you must
before madness takes flight
Manic the tone
racing in my head
fearing you not
I値l sleep when I知 dead
