Rainbow lullaby

The Sandman’s got my name On a list like some video game The harder I pushed, the worse it grew Just trying to make it through Burning the candle at both ends Nearly breaking trying to pretend I ran hard trying to stay free But sleep knew just where to find me Another long night staring at the wall Swearing I ain’t tired at all Phone light dying in my hand Too worn out, sleep’s a scam Mind still racing, body weak Running on fumes for over a week Every rainbow just circles back To an empty tank and fading to black The Sandman’s got my name Guess tonight it’s more the same Ain’t surrender, just relief Finally getting some much needed sleep World can wait till morning light I ain’t winning this fight tonight Spent too long outrunning me But sleep knew just where to find me
