Can't get sleep these days....
Walk through life in a fuzzy daze
Holding my head just high enough
Shoving through it as if i were tough
Warming myself on thoughts of you
A tiny flame inside burning true
How empty this body is; too much space
Dreams of a kiss i can almost taste
Crash, crash, crashing down
Tumbling in a sea of relentless sound
Women here painted to look real
A frozen city - concrete and steel
Blank gapes, blank faces,
Blank familiar places
Hats worn low, gazes worn lower
Can almost see their human soul
But this 60hr work week took its toll
Feeling buzzed out, worn thin
Emotion at all seems a sin
If misery loves company then
Nearly everyone here is ken
Happy drones are all they need
Sad and frustrated? you're a bad seed
Fit into a box and be reusable
Easily underpaid and abuseable
Piling up bills to pay?
They'll either cut your hours or cut your pay
Can't see how much longer i'll last
Alone, feeling like i was aside, cast
Inspite of love, which i never doubt
Feeling swallowed whole, then sput out
And the artificial lamp can't burn away this sense that i'm sleepless
