Lyrics: Sleepless Nights

Verse 1

So late at night, so dark as I am staring at the ceiling
The clock's red glow just let me know it's One AM, and I'm awake
So long I wait so wide awake despite how tired I'm feeling
I close my eyes, silently sigh and ask what does it take?

Pre-Chorus 1

Watch the clock with bleary eyes,
Trying to shut off my mind
Watching time go ticking by
On another sleepless night

Chorus

I lay down my head
Close my bloodshot eyes
As I lay in bed
On a sleepless night

Verse 2

It’s two-o’clock the numbers mock me glowing as I lay there
Their crimson light it seems so bright within the darkness of my room
I try to sleep, I’m counting sheep but I am getting nowhere
My rest denied, I look outside and curse the slowly setting moon

Pre-Chorus 2

Watch the clock with bleary eyes,
Trying to shut off my mind
It seems peace is hard to find
On another sleepless night

Chorus

I lay down my head
Close my bloodshot eyes
As I lay in bed
On a sleepless night

Verse 3

The clock strikes three my mind runs free as I take leave of my sense
Try to repress my restlessness throughout the night so long and dull
The house’s creak, the faucet’s leak seem so loud in the silence
And every sound just seems to pound within the confines of my skull!

Bridge

Why can’t I sleep?
Why can’t I sleep?
Why can’t I sleep?
Why can’t I sleep?

Pre-Chorus 3

Watch the clock with bleary eyes,
Trying to shut off my mind
Feel my sanity unwind
On another sleepless night

Chorus

I lay down my head
Close my bloodshot eyes
As I lay in bed
On a sleepless night
