I took one pill Just to fall asleep And wish myself Only stop to think The ashtray's full And walls stare at me I took this drug To drown in everything Next restless night The streetlight's green My bleary eyes see What no one sees Why it doesn't work Why I'm now so torn There is so much anxiety in me Why it doesn't work Paralysis Numbing limbs The urgency of a sleep Overshadows other needs Desperation Handful of pills I hear voices in my room I know, I won't sleep My sweaty hands And pulsing bugling veins The sleeping pill Caused me dreams ereased Next sleepless night The loss of time My bleary eyes see So strange things Paralysis Numbing limbs The urgency of a sleep Overshadows other needs Desperation Handful of pills I hear voices in my room I know, I won't sleep Why it doesn't work Why I'm now so torn There is so much anxiety in me Why it doesn't work
