Tired
Let me tell you i´m tired
But never as tired as i am in my dreams
Nothing is nowhere and being fired
from real to fake, examineing the seams
of dream and reality
Shall the cycle end with me being free?
While sleeping about
i found no peice no doubt
Meditation and Medication don´t help
I´m in an endless sea
is this my perfect purgatory?
if it was i would ask why
i get no sleep no matter how hard i try
I´ll be hounest with you fore i can´t lie
Mr.Sandman stops all sleep coming to me
and fot it i can not pay his expensive fee
and i can´t teal any for i am not that sly
For the little i get, the deeper my debt
When i´m asked if i´m ready for bed i say: ¨all set!¨
With a fake smile upon my face
I walk up the stairs
and ponder my case
Showing no cares
Through the room
and to my doom
I see my door
As i reach for the handle
I´m chilled to my very core
as I touch this portal
my fake bravado is blown out like a candle
I give myself a small chortle
As i open the door and look upon my perfect bed
As i look at it i feel heavy and dead
closing my portal door
i walk towards my bed of lore
My body feeling tired and sore
I count the hours of sleep i´ve had this week
A simple four
I lay on my bed feeling weak
I plug in my phone
and fall back
Will mrSandman, tonight, give me a loan?
The will to move i now lack
I´m finally asleep
These dreams I´ll keep
I´ve passed his hellish test
Finally Mr.Sandman has let me rest
...
Through the restless night i wake again
It´s Merely 12:30
I lay there thinking of all my sin
looking at my horid past i feel so dirty
Mr.Sandman? loan has given out
I shall stay awake till 5 there? no other route
A storm is brewing
My sleep it wont be rueing
I fall unconscious once more
Only to dream of horror
to hit the floor
as i wade through my dreams i feel like an explorer
I see fears and crazy things
Impossible feats and floating swings
A lucid adventure this does ot bring
but an awful pain and a horrible sting
As i hear a screech
an attaching bird just out of reach?
No just my alarm
sending me no harm
just waking me gently
yet i treat it differently
Turning it off as fast as i can
fore i am not a fan
It hurts to know Mr.Sandman has won again
putting me back in his dangerous reeality den
no matter what tricks up my sleeve
or help i receive
i always lose
Not able to get a simple snozze
Our next scuffle to close
As time slows
All i can hear is his signature tune
played on his double bassoon
giveing me such a fright
Iknow he´ll beat me again tonight
