Insomnia

5 days without sleep, you'd be writing something like this too


Insomnia:

Whats this, whats that?
It's a giant talking cat!

Look there, look here!
candy spilled out of my ear!

Whats real, whats not?
My mind is tied tight in a knot!

Left and right, here and there,
look out for the flying bear!

My eyes scream, they plead!
My eyes cry for the sleep I need.

Coffee is my sanity, I drink it hot.
It keeps me awake, it helps me a lot.

"Insomnia! Insomnia!" The doctor cries
as I swat away the imaginary flies.

They call me crazy, maybe i am!
But I know all they want is my jam!

I feel weak, its the pills they gave!
They force it on me so I would behave.

Traitors, liars, all of them are!
I'll give them hell, I'll give them war!

They tie me down, and shock my spine!
They dont think they've crossed a line.

Everything is going black, oh no whats that?!
They want my brains, they'll put it in a vat!

I fight the dark, I fight the sleep
I'm going down, down so deep

I feel it all fade, sanity ensues.
the last thing I see are the doctors shoes

As long as I'm credited and I get to hear it when you're done
