Sleepless - The Riverboat Gamblers, Mike Weibe, Rob Marchant

Awake on a work out mattress

Hard, comfortless

No matter which way my body lay

I feel, I feel the change to lose consciousness exist

Only for a moment

Then like the click of a metronome I turn, I turn

Turn on the TV

Commercials for girls with low self-esteem

I’m uneasy

So I turn it off again

Can’t make my thoughts stop sprinting

Can’t pick out another song

Not to refrain from it’s pounding rhythm

Give worry a beat so it can march along

My heart throbs a pulse I can feel it Might as well be a punch in the chest

Screaming wake up, wake up What mistakes did you make

Completely exhausted, entirely awake

Counting sheep

Constantly beating (wake up, wake up)

No sign of sleep, no chance for relief

From closeted skeletons telling me Eloquent lies on repeat

Every defeat in my mind

4 million times

With perfect precision decisions must be analyzed

And I wait, wide awake

Concentrate on my breathing

Glow stars on the ceiling dissipate

Counting minutes till the sun comes up And I hear the hymn of garbage trucks, till then

I’ll be counting sheep

Constantly beating (wide awake)

No sign of sleep, no chance for relief

From closeted skeletons telling me Eloquent lies on repeat

Every defeat in my mind

4 million times

With perfect precision decisions must be analyzed
