They say insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result, so I must be bat-shit crazy to think I'm ever going to sleep well again. I climb in bed, my body aching Mind is tired, limbs are quaking Try to sleep, but it won't come I lie awake til my mind is numb Insomnia, my life long curse It won't get better, only worse The hours tick by, I lie in bed Feeling like the walking dead Friends suggesting meditation Doctors prescribe medication Nothing seems to put me down Beyond exhausted, gonna drown Trouble sleeping all my life A burden on my kids and wife They need a man whose body functions Not a wreck with sleep disjunction I go to work, I'm sleep deprived I'm always asked how I've survived I shrug and say I don't know how You'd think I would have died by now But something keeps my body going But it won't last, the cracks are showing It's getting harder to survive To find the will to stay alive And so I lie here in my bed I guess I'll rest when I am dead
