Nobody Sleeps

I lie awake
Hear the voices through the walls
I feel it’s fake
No one ever sleeps at all

But the paranoia grips
My throat
As the fear sets in
I know something must go

I toss and turn
Oh the walls are crushing me
As I learn to hold in
What is haunting me
I let it go
And it comes around again
It’s every night
God, where does this all end

But the paranoia grips
My throat
A little relief
Somewhere, someone must know

Heaven in lieu
Oh this must be a type of hell
He carries distance
To what is haunting him as well
You let it go
And it comes around again
It’s every night
Seeking only quick release

The Sleepless
