Stuck Powered On - Allister

«Stuck Powered On»

I lay down for the night, and rest my weary eyes

Hoping tonight 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

I just need one more hour to sleep

Sweet relief from the demons in my mind

I toss and turn, but still nothing 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

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
