Every night I wait,
I am hungry and empty,
Twist, turn, wait
in vain - I can't sleep.
Hours drag and drag,
the longest days and nights.
So I drink and drink
in the hopes of some respite.
This is my heaven and it feels good.
Not sure if I'm awake or asleep
I forget you and it feels so good.
Not sure if it's a dream.
I awake from my drunken reverie,
I can't stand the way it feels.
The scary, shrill reality.
So tired but can't sleep.
"...shrill reality..."
