Can't get no sleep in a quiet room
Thoughts keep running through my mind
Counting Crows in a darkened room
Any light will make me blind
Blue lights illuminate a map
With all the places I'll go to
I'm held here in a trap
Awake in a room illuminated blue
I'm thinking about getting out
Freed, going away
I'm thinking about getting out
I will one of these days
I don't get no sleep in a quiet room
Forever in winter, waiting for flowers to bloom
I can't sleep at night.
I can't sleep at night.

Something I wrote at 11:23pm after going about 48 hours without no sleep, due to insomnia. Enjoy!
