lyrics

Internal fears play out slow
You telling me it's not hard at all

Oh great another morning
at 4am
These dreams used to be boring
Now they're always spent
With me in a daze
Wide awake
What perspective do I take?
I toss and turn, I never learn

Oh how the mind can be so cruel
Projecting you, leaving me the fool

Oh great another morning
at 4am
These dreams used to be boring
Now they're always spent
With me in a daze
Wide awake
What perspective do I take?
I toss and turn, I never learn

I'm having trouble counting sheep
I'm having trouble trying to sleep
When will the fantasies work for me?
