I lay down for the night, and rest my weary eyes Hoping tonight that things might change But in this darkness, my thoughts start to multiply And sanity slowly slips away And as the sun starts creeping through the cracks between the shades It calls me out to battle through another day And I just need one more hour to sleep Sweet relief from the demons in my mind I toss and turn, but still nothin' seems to work Can't turn off these nervous thoughts And though I'm shutting down, my mind's stuck powered on I peel my body up, and pour myself a cup Go through the motions of the day And try to figure out a way to reconcile The two sides at war inside of me And as the sun starts creeping through the cracks between the shades It calls me out to battle through another day I just need one more hour to sleep Sweet relief from the demons in my mind I toss and turn, but still nothin' seems to work Can't turn off these nervous thoughts And though I'm shutting down, my mind's stuck powered on As seconds turn to minutes, and hours into days My thoughts evaporate into the haze of real-life dreams I need to clear my mind of everything So that I can get some sleep I just need one more hour to sleep Sweet relief from the demons in my mind I toss and turn, but still nothin' seems to work Can't turn off these nervous thoughts And though I'm shutting down, my mind's stuck powered on
