Sleep escapes me Aware all the time The inescapable festering truth Haunts as it creeps Feel it in the spine I'm making changes After a hundred times Sunrise has never been so dreadful Another sleepless night My body aches with the urge for something more Sometimes the sleep is all I think I need Still I'm left in this paradox I've put myself into It's time for changes For so long it was the stimulation But I see clearly now What is good for me What builds my future What holds all life In the blink of an eye Another sleepless night I have become afflicted by my own actions It will never be the same I have been opened up to the truth of existence A holy fire has burned my anguish No longer will I hold onto the moments I wished would last forever No longer is my mind fogged by the lies No longer is my mind fogged by false understandings
