[Verse 1]
As I lie in my bed, eyes wide open
My thoughts keep churning, keeping me awake
I watch as the minutes, creep into hours
One tick of the clock, feels like eternity.
[Verse 2]
How long have I been here, lost in my head?
Thinking of sleeping, please let me rest.
All of life’s problems, come flooding the gates
Another sleepless night awaits.
[Chorus]
Unbelievable how it grips so tight.
Reality blurs, night after night.
Shadows turn into every nightmare,
I plead with every ounce of my soul to sleep,
But, nothing works, not even counting… sheep.
[Verse 3]
Faces form within the shadows, voices I don’t know.
Eyes are heavy, yet my mind, forever racing.
What can I do? Who can I turn to?
This needs to end.
[Chorus]
Unbelievable how it grips so tight.
Reality blurs, night after night.
Shadows turn into every nightmare,
I plead with every ounce of my soul to sleep,
But, nothing works, not even counting… sheep.
[Bridge]
Chasing endless sheep and escaping dreams,
In the quiet are my silent screams.
Reality distorts, confusion reigns
Sleepless nights, tethering me in chains.
[Chorus]
Unbelievable how it grips so tight.
Reality blurs, night after night.
Shadows turn into every nightmare,
I plead with every ounce of my soul to sleep,
But, nothing works, not even counting… sheep.
[Outro]
Night is ending, I see the morning glow.
The sun is rising, I’ll gladly embrace.
Until the light fades on this new day,
I have a few hours… until I count the sheep… again.
