These thoughts
I can't quite shrug them off
It's like the switch is broken, just like me
Why can't I find a little peace and quiet
Oh, my kingdom for some silence
It's been a busy day
"You should be tired" they say
But I'm so wide awake
Overanalyzing the mistakes
And am I one?
Well, who's to say
Tic-toc-tic-toc-tic-toc-tic-toc
Seconds passing and I'm wide awake
Tic-toc-tic-toc-tic-toc-tic-toc
Why can't I shut off my brain!?
It's been three weeks and I still can't sleep in my bed
Blame it on all the voices in my head
Telling me that I'd be better off dead
Blame it on the monsters under my bed
Wine and whisky make me feel fine and frisky
But with no one to please me how can I be sleepy
All I can think about are these infinite doubts
I'm an idiot
I'm full of shit
And everybody knows it
Why is my existence such a crime?
I can't get my mind off my mind
Running in circles
Like it's a circus
But these animals
Are feeling nervous
Seconds passing and I'm wide awake...
Tic-toc-tic-toc-tic-toc-tic-toc
Why can't I shut off my brain!?
It's been three weeks and I still can't sleep in my bed
Blame it on all the voices in my head
Telling me that I'd be better off dead
Blame it on the monsters under my bed
And I see but I can't believe what I've read
Could it be that I might've been mislead
Close my eyes but I'm wide awake instead
Blame it on the monsters under my bed
Now I lay me down to sleep
I pray the lord my soul to keep
And if I die before I wake
I pray the lord my soul to take
Am I just delirious
Or is this something serious
I should see a doctor, but
I don't think they'd understand us
And I've got a confession
I've got a condition
And under these conditions I'm wishing I wasn't
Well it's been three weeks and I still can't sleep in my bed
Blame it on all the voices in my head
Telling me that I'd be better off dead
Blame it on the monsters under my bed
And I see but I can't believe what I've read
Could it be that I might've been mislead
Listening to the voices in my head
Blame it on the monsters under my bed
