The Despairing Thoughts Of An Insomniac

Folder: 
Marcus Brown

As the minutes pass, I can hear your words..
echoing in my mind as I lay awake.
I remember everything as time stands still,
yet I'm filled with nothing but twelve pills.

Suicide may not be the best option I have,
but it's the only option I've got.
Can you think of a better way to escape this hell?
The best that can happen tonight, only time will tell..

As I lie awake, everything you've said but a dream.
Bring it back to me, awake me from my dire reality.
A gravestone marking the years I've existed,
can never tell the truth about the scars of the twisted.

And I can remember everything you've said to me,
you give me a different kind of disease.
Longing for a cure that I can never have,
release me from my future and my past.

Your eyes are a different shade of blue,
a kind that would never let me take my eyes off of you.
Every time I lie awake, I can see you in my mind.
Take me away, I'm tired of being left behind.

Your unmistakable, unforgettable, and unbelievable.
I can hear you calling out again,
when you sing, it's a sickening kind of rhyme.
Beautiful, knowing you'll never be mine.

I give in to my feelings for you,
I surrender, and you know it's true..
in your thoughts, deep down inside..
your running out of places to hide.

Tonight's the night, you'll get to read all of this.
You'll understand my thoughts, and how us I miss.
It's too late, I've taken one too many..
time to say goodbye to a life that never loved me.
