Eyes open i'm wide awake
i feel i'm in a coma state
i lay here on my back and
watch the fan turn
conversations cross my mind
but not that of the speaking kind
t.v. images repeat their one line

back and forth
i toss and turn
it feels like strings
are holding up my eyes
i'd kill to fall asleep

im putting up a losing fight
i'll never see this end tonight
the thought of just one dream
it consumes me
numbers on the clock turn back
my pills are having no effect
the beating of my heart
keeps the time going

back and forth
i toss and turn
it feels like strings
are holding up my eyes
i'd kill to fall asleep

they say that when you sleep
your body's at rest
i wouldnt know what sleep felt like
if i tried my best
if polariods and memories
can fade away
so can i......

i'd kill to fall asleep
