Stay in bed

The sun doesn’t seem as bright
Something’s not quite right
I can’t find anything to talk about
The words are there but won’t come out
There’s a thought inside me head
But there’s nothing left to be said
Today I think I’ll stay in bed
Today
I think I’ll stay in bed
I’m not sick
I feel okay
I’m just not sure the car
Will start today


My boots would walk if
I took out the lead
But, to be perfectly honest
Today
I think I’ll stay I in bed
The phones ringing constantly
It’s just another day to me
Nothing good is ever said
Today I think I’ll stay in bed.

Incomplete Sleep

I can’t sleep
When I close my eyes
My mind keeps on ticking
The clock keeps on thinking
My yesterdays they haunt me
Today won’t go away
And tomorrow’s rushing in
I can’t sleep no matter how I try
I can’t sleep and I don’t know why
Thinking always thinking
Sitting on the edge of a dream
Weaving thoughts of the day
And pieces in between
Running out of time
And darkness too
Till the night breaks
Till the night becomes last
It’s no wonder
I can’t sleep
No matter what I do
Tossing

Turning
My bed keeps turning
My head keeps turning
The earth keeps turning
Fading
Drifting
Then returning
I can’t sleep
