"Stuck Powered On" I lay down for the night, and rest my weary eyes Hoping tonight things might change But in this darkness my thoughts start to multiply And sanity slowly slips away And as the sun starts creeping through the cracks between the shades It calls me out to battle through another day I just need one more hour to sleep Sweet relief from the demons in my mind I toss and turn, but still nothing seems to work Can't turn off, these nervous thoughts, and though I'm shutting down my mind's stuck powered on I peel my body up and pour myself a cup Go through the motions of the day And try to figure out a way to reconcile The two sides at war inside of me As seconds turn to minutes, and hours into days My thoughts evaporate into the haze of real life dreams I need to clear my mind of everything, so that I can get some sleep
