Insomnia


My attempt to fall asleep a dream could reveal nirvana

But my mind sentenced awake run on line with a comma

 

Full of drama worlds a stage

People acting improve with age

Life's a story turn the page

Insomnia I'm full of rage

 

Unlocking peace inside my mind the key right now is sleeping

But I just can't do it frustration slowly creeping

 

The weeping, the sorrow I just want to slumber

The dreaming I miss, get the gas put me under

 

Hypnos god of sleep indulge me, love me

Reality I can't take, fentanyl numb me

 

This full house so active I wish it would wither

This message I'm broadcasting I'm trying to deliver
