Some nights I fall asleep
Some nights I get up on my feet
And pace around
Til my heart rate settles down
Some nights I fall asleep
Most nights I wake up in a sea
Drowning
Dancing
If I lie awake at night, there's no wonder why
Tortured cyclical, over and over, dizzied and tried
What have I?
If I fall asleep then I
Must have made a promise that I would end it all by nine
What have I?
I wake up every time and I shake
My stomach turns inside
Outside I see myself in a lake
Ice-capped and frozen shut
They say drowning's the worst way to die
But it can't be
Worse than how I spend my nights
At least drowning's distracting
I can picture the sunrays refracting
Through the ice-caps, through water
I'm gasping for air
But it's not like it's rare
For me to fall
