Insomnia

Time: 3:36 a.m.

I fell asleep at 9:30 last night, then woke up again at 11:30 and couldn't fall back asleep. So now I'm trying to find ways to pass the time... I lied in bed for about two hours trying to will myself back to sleep, that didn't work out too well (or else I probably wouldn't be up right now). At around 1:00/1:30-ish I started freaking out because I thought I was hearing sounds in my backyard (mental images of the "Walsburg Scythe Man" appeared more than once) so I got up and turned my light on and read Wicked for the last two hours.

...Now I'm here...physically exhausted, but unable to sleep. Tomorrow is really going to suck.

Reading magazines and counting
sheep to pass the time away
Hoping that tomorrows gonna bring
a smile home again, images of palm trees
swaying in the wind on south beach
Takes me back to better days,
summer days the everglades in june

My brain, my poor brain
My brain, my poor brain
Im drinking myself to sleep again,
nightnurse pills to keep me sane
Drinking myself to sleep again, insomnia

Flying high in golden skies,
Im flicking channels in my mind
Finding my utopia a different chapter in a book
Thinking back to younger days
as I escape in coopers break
It takes me back to 84
the futures knocking at my door
My brain, my poor brain

My brain, my poor brain
Im drinking myself to sleep again,
nightnurse pills to keep me sane
Drinking myself to sleep again, insomnia
Im drinking myself to sleep again,
nightnurse pills to keep me sane
Drinking myself to sleep again, insomnia

Turning off a switch inside me,
leaving all the stress behind me
Flying over streams and houses,
passing over the wye valley
It takes me back to 84
the futures knocking at my door
My brain, my poor brain

Im drinking myself to sleep again,
nightnurse pills to keep me sane
Drinking myself to sleep again, insomnia
Im drinking myself to sleep again,
nightnurse pills to keep me sane
Drinking myself to sleep again, insomnia
Im drinking myself to sleep again,
nightnurse pills to keep me sane
Drinking myself to sleep again, insomnia.
