And now i lay me down to sleep....
I close my eyes, i try to sleep
i can't let in a ray of light
then maybe i'll sleep through the night.
Like an erruption from my heart
As a volcano beginning to start
I can no longer close my eyes
my thoughts ,my memories, i despise.
As i view the room, i look i see
My eyes, now open, how can that be?
I tried so hard to shut them tight
but i suppose i lost the fight.
Sweat forms droplets on my head
drips down my face onto my bed
But why am i thinking? How can this be?
I think i'm going crazy see.
I have to sleep, just have to sleep
I close my eyes, i count the sheep
One, Two....buckle my shoe
I really don't know what to do
Remember it from when i was a kid
No time to joke, or be stupid
Now i just have to sleep
One sheep, two sheep and three sheep
And i remember nursery school
Baa Baa black sheep, have you wool?
got to stop, you aimless fool
tomorrow morning off to school
'Close your eyes!' I shout at myself
Reach a book down from the shelf
Again begins the sleepless night
Read some books, then sleep, i might
And as I lie and think and count
Sleeplessness,endless amount
The sun peaks through the horizon again
Another day, then night of pain
Anotherto add to the rest
Anymore ideas to test?
No more stories, no more sheep
For goodness sake, i just need sleep!
