Paranoia of an Insomniac

My eyes are oh so dreary
But clearly, I need you dearly
Please be, please me, please see?
Look at what we could be
See me, could you at least tease me?
My mind is wandering across the universe
No kind of pondering feels worse
How is that love causes so much pain
Like looking for sunshine but finding rain
Such an irony, my optimism begins to wane
I gain nothing from this heart of stain
But everyone else is feeling the exact same
Feeling lame, knowing most of what I'll do will be in vain
The only good in my whole life will ultimately be its bane

Sleep eludes me
Fools me, school's me
Rules me
I find no source of rest
As my chest is put to the test
It weighs heavily on my soul
So much so it's breaking hold
Making me feel cold
But I'll always be bold
Breaking the mold
A new form of gold
Now drop your cards and fold

Still there's something to be said for being unique
Even if I have several judges looking to critique
And this cold hard world's looking much to bleak
I attempt to the next realm to sneak a peak
My body is ready but my soul is so weak
So many people willing to die for their holy causes
Rather than peering into what would cause this
Pause this, rewind this, bind this, can anybody find bliss?
Cling to text with no second guessing
So much so you're making me stressing
I begin pressing you, testing you, besting you with your own logic
While your arguments barely manage to nick cause I'm too slick
I wonder why I feel so left out in the church steeples
God's own people have turned into America's bravest sheople
Regardless, I have just as many faults  if not more
Arrogance, pessimism, and always wanting more
But I won't mope cause I have hope in my ability to cope
So nope, I won't end my life by hanging from the noose of a rope

Sleep eludes me
Fools me, school's me
Rules me
I find no source of rest
As my chest is put to the test
It weigh heavily on my soul
So much so it's breaking hold
Making me feel cold
But I'll always be bold
Breaking the mold
A new form of gold
Now drop your cards and fold

I need somewhere to nest at night
Somewhere where I can start feeling alright
These midnight frights feel not right and the loss of sight and the new heights
Are causing me to lose light and making black and white less tight, I just might lose my might
And my will to fight is starting to feel trite cause I'm always wanting to be alright, tonight
The demons' bites makes the brightness fade
As this music plays
But nothing sways
So go ahead and pray
Nothing left here to slay
My soul's got nothing left to pay
As I ask the Lord...
What do You say?

Sleep eludes me
Fools me, school's me
Rules me
I find no source of rest
As my chest is put to the test
It weigh heavily on my soul
So much so it's breaking hold
Making me feel cold
But I'll always be bold
Breaking the mold
A new form of gold
Now drop your cards and fold
