i can't sleep
i can't sleep
i am overwhelmed with grief
every time i wake
that i must face the thief
who takes away my face
the place where i exist
the real me, not a fake
my hands on the controls
till the moment i awake
friends i'll never meet
the wife i'll never take
the strength that i don't feel
all mine to create
here beneath these sheets
the robbery takes place
and everything i am
all goes up in flames
what i spend my life to build
is ripped down every day
anywhere the light can reach
is nowhere i am safe
so i can't sleep
