The Sleepless
he lays awake while the others can sleep
although unknowable his reasons are many and always deep
the seeds are planted in his mind, they grow more grotesque with time
He tells me of his pondering, headaches, and the sublime
Would that I could take away his pain, I reach out to help but it’s all in vain
although unknowable his reasons are many and always deep
the seeds are planted in his mind, they grow more grotesque with time
He tells me of his pondering, headaches, and the sublime
Would that I could take away his pain, I reach out to help but it’s all in vain

Mosquitoes Drank my Bourbon
Angry sleep
Mosquitoes taking aim
115 proof Old Forester drew them to me
Scratching all night
Damn neighbors moving yesterday
Doors open for hours
Pesky invaders took up residence
Pay no rent
Stealing blood
No mercy

Sand and Rats of Bone
There's bone rats in my chest
Squirming and nawing within
I can't breathe, nothing makes sense
What is going on in my mind?
I just don't know what to do
What is this life I'm living
Am I even living? Is this a life?
Feeling like I'm chasing something
But I don't even know what it is
Seeking something, someone, somewhere
It's nowhere,, it's nothing, it's no one
I'm searching, but it doesn't exist
Just like the rats squirming in my chest
There's nothing out there yet I look
My mind is a numb sandy desert
The rats are...
Squirming and nawing within
I can't breathe, nothing makes sense
What is going on in my mind?
I just don't know what to do
What is this life I'm living
Am I even living? Is this a life?
Feeling like I'm chasing something
But I don't even know what it is
Seeking something, someone, somewhere
It's nowhere,, it's nothing, it's no one
I'm searching, but it doesn't exist
Just like the rats squirming in my chest
There's nothing out there yet I look
My mind is a numb sandy desert
The rats are...

I can’t sleep
Here’s the real reason I can’t sleep tonight:
My mind is rolling in poetry
Forgotten in a moment
All words longing to express
How strong are these feelings
Bubbling through my veins.
Emotions of you
Memories of you
Dreams of you
You’re the reason I can’t sleep
because I miss you
My mind is rolling in poetry
Forgotten in a moment
All words longing to express
How strong are these feelings
Bubbling through my veins.
Emotions of you
Memories of you
Dreams of you
You’re the reason I can’t sleep
because I miss you

Afraid to dream
Lying awake while the rest of the world is sleeping.
I'm afraid of what will show up while I'm dreaming.
I'm afraid of what will show up while I'm dreaming.

Insomnia, Sleep with me...
I will be your eternal memory that does not let you sleep ...
You will forever remember every minute spent with me,
and every thought will pierce you like an electric current,
blowing up your consciousness and turning on your mind!
Turning you on in every other way too, piercing steel rod
You will forever remember me as a crazy chaos in your head
depriving you of sleep! And you will dream of touching me
at least with your breath, feeling this touch on your body ...
with an exciting tremor!
You will forever remember every minute spent with me,
and every thought will pierce you like an electric current,
blowing up your consciousness and turning on your mind!
Turning you on in every other way too, piercing steel rod
You will forever remember me as a crazy chaos in your head
depriving you of sleep! And you will dream of touching me
at least with your breath, feeling this touch on your body ...
with an exciting tremor!

dysfunction
I laid my wounds
on the table
and pus and gangrene and pain
I put the plates and cutlery
and cuts and tourniquets
I stopped the blood
I poured pus from the wounds
I opened the scars to the air
and it hurts me deeply
I cut some wrists
and I heard knocking at the door
right rhythm
perfect harmony
samba beat
I lay down on the blood
I spurted pus and saliva
let me digest
by myself
until I clot.

ce néant a commencement à tourner
ce néant ne pouvait pas se comprendre
ce qui s'est passé nétait pas compréhensible
absurde;

Tenement Of My Psyche
chlorine smelling hallways
damp, cold, skin
water-logged head
claustrophobic carpet patterns
yellowing ceiling tiles
wallpaper peeling, revealing
the cracks behind
and the cobwebs
rotting roof wood
spitting and letting
the sunlight
slither back in
to the attic
damp, cold, skin
water-logged head
claustrophobic carpet patterns
yellowing ceiling tiles
wallpaper peeling, revealing
the cracks behind
and the cobwebs
rotting roof wood
spitting and letting
the sunlight
slither back in
to the attic

Insomnia
I must have done something great in a previous life
Maybe I cure cancer saving everyone's life
Maybe I cleaned up the oceans
Developed a magic elixir or potion
Whatever it was, it had to be grand
Maybe I stood in space with a meteor in my hand
Returned to earth and made everyone hold hands
May be solved foods demands
Stepped onto the battlefield and simply said no more
No more weapons, no more hate, no more war, no more
Whatever it was I don't have to know
Lying here listening to you, as you snore
Fills...
Maybe I cure cancer saving everyone's life

Insomnia
Today is day three, of restless, sleepless nights
I’ve called out of work, can’t focus, called out twice
I’ve taken my pills, but they don’t help me sleep
I’m tossing in bed, now I’m starting to weep
I’m crying and shaking, I sit down outside
Can’t control my emotions, I’m empty inside
I feel like I’m lonely, feel sad and depressed
No sleep isn’t helping, it’s all ’cause of stress
But there’s nothing in life, that’s bothering me
I don’t care...
I’ve called out of work, can’t focus, called out twice
I’ve taken my pills, but they don’t help me sleep
I’m tossing in bed, now I’m starting to weep
I’m crying and shaking, I sit down outside
Can’t control my emotions, I’m empty inside
I feel like I’m lonely, feel sad and depressed
No sleep isn’t helping, it’s all ’cause of stress
But there’s nothing in life, that’s bothering me
I don’t care...

Pass Into Sleep
Laying in my bed
Stargazing with my pillow
Quiet slumber please
Thinking of past worlds
The rasping stills my heartbeat
Quiet slumber please
One slow breath tonight
Feels entirely surreal
Quiet slumber please
Coolness of the sheets
Whispers of times gone wayside
Quiet slumber please
Turn my head, hurt there
Letting out the voice, trust gone
Quiet slumber please
Settle into calm
Daylight approaches too soon
Quiet slumber please
Stargazing with my pillow
Quiet slumber please
Thinking of past worlds
The rasping stills my heartbeat
Quiet slumber please
One slow breath tonight
Feels entirely surreal
Quiet slumber please
Coolness of the sheets
Whispers of times gone wayside
Quiet slumber please
Turn my head, hurt there
Letting out the voice, trust gone
Quiet slumber please
Settle into calm
Daylight approaches too soon
Quiet slumber please
