No Sleep For The Wicked
(专辑: What We Made - 2007)
It's worse by the
day now, every time I
lay down Words come alive in my head and they play loud It's like they can't find a
way out Wanna pull the
plug on their party, it's starting To worry me, can't get to sleep when I
wanna do How would you feel if your lyrics just followed you? Everywhere you went from the
street to the
bed And repeated through the
night everything you said Tried so many things, pen and a
pad By the
side of my bed but it's sending me mad Every time I
recline, I
decline to opine But there's always a
rhyme at the
back of my mind Tried sippin on bottles of wine when I
dine, So sleep I
can find when it's time for bedtime Rest my head fine, but it's just no use Sentences now they forming queues I
reckon, It's worse me than bein heckled Right now my brains just a
broken record Sleep diminishes, when I
start a
song And my mind won't stop cause I
always gotta finish it And when that songs done through to the
end The
same track starts all over again It's like my mind can't function, needs words to munch on Came to a
junction where traffic don't stop Counting sheep and they never ever go Losing sleep cause the
words just flow Sounds in my head like a
radio Lay awake all night, no sleep for the
wicked Seems like the
verse has become my foe At war in my head and he don't wanna go Til I've laid him to rest in the
studio Stay awake all night, no sleep for the
wicked There ain't nothing that's appealing looking at the
ceiling Your eyes wide open wishing you were dreaming (Dreaming) And still the
words keep streaming It's only ever stops when I
put em to rest Then I've shooken the
stress, no less Plus I've tooken the
best take let's say I
ever coulda taken Lost weeks of sleep so I
had to be patient You could be forsaken for thinking I'm mental I
let it all out in the
vocal booth, Syllables putting 'em to soulful use Released from within this ain't a
joke it's truth Once I
put em in a
song, they can never bother me What the
hell is wrong with me, I
didn't choose it Absurd, why I
gotta lock these words in the
music Some would say I'm blessed with a
talent and yes But only when I'm dead will they give it a
rest Tell me what's the
reason I'm still fighting demons I'm asking what is their significance Tell me what's the
reason I'm still fighting demons I'm pleading, I
only wanna get some sleep
