No Sleep
It's like whenever I try to sleep
Some entity is haunting me;
With a tin can and a spoon drumming
In my ear;
Shaking me from my sleep.
The mind is annoyingly awake;
Refusing to sleep, screaming inside,
Like an insane witch.
My mind is mocking me,
Laughing the laugh of hyenas
Hungry, ready to devour my peace.
Dark circles and glassy eyes
Stoned and high
Without any sleep.
Darling, this is what insomnia feels.
So,
Could you come near?
Stroke my hair
And help me fall asleep?
I can see my mind disintegrating, piece by piece.
Cause this is insomnia...
It feels great
Till you drop dead.
And pass into an eternal sleep.
