My new lyric...

[Andrew 17]

Here is my new lyric. It's called Sleepless Nights, and is written about insomnia...unfortunately, it is written from experience!! Please give me your opinions on it - thanks.


Sleepless Nights

I close my eyes and try to shut my thoughts out of my mind,
To fall into a state of rest, and leave the world behind.
I feel unsafe, so insecure, within this world of dreams,
I’m so close, but yet so far, and nothing’s what it seems.

Trapped in this living nightmare,
I can’t seem to break away.
My world of dreams feels empty,
And much too far away.
Before me floats a spirit,
Its message is crystal clear.
Yet it vanishes in a second,
And leaves me lying here.

Searching in my soul to find a remedy or cure,
Reaching out for something that I thought was there before,
Holding on to what I’ve got, for I’ll get nothing more,
These sleepless nights are driving me insane!

I lay my body down to rest upon my un-made bed,
The room has a deadly silence, but there’s ringing in my head.
My eyes are heavy, my body is numb, and my mind is wandering free,
I need a shot to ease the pain, and end my misery.

I’m screaming out for someone,
To come and let me through.
I’m crying out for help,
And I don’t know what to do.
I’ve been inside before,
It’s a safe haven for me.
But the entrance is now locked,
And I don’t have the key.

Searching in my soul to find a remedy or cure,
Reaching out for something that I thought was there before,
Holding on to what I’ve got, for I’ll get nothing more,
These sleepless nights are driving me insane!
