Devlins - Day's And Nights lyrics

I've been up for nights and days And my eyes remain wide awake Because more than my life's at steak So I ain't got time for blinkin' All the time I'm thinkin' If this ain't hell it's one fiery place Metallic projectiles fly in ya face And leave you like human garbage lyin' in drains I've gotta keep my eyeballs open The only thing that'll minus the pain like ibuprofen is 9milli and K on the case I don't feel in control like pilots in planes I'm trapped in this winding maze I'm an insomniac, I'm insane I've been up for days and nights Through this crazy life But I'll sleep when I'm dead Until they pay me right My eyes are open wide But I'll sleep when I'm dead When everything on my to do list is ticked off Then maybe I can drift off Until then I'm wide awake, lyin' in a daze My eyeballs gaze Hypnotized by the sound of my wrist watch Clickin' tick tock I'm in charge of the underground just like Brick Top So I can't sleep I'd be wrong if I did stop If I'm focused on writing a verse You couldn't put me to sleep With a thousand and nine Bottles of night nurse It's likely I'll put ya lights out first So I'll sleep when I'm restin' in peace Until then I've gotta bless these beats Till I conquer the streets If I'm conscious, I can't get lost in a dream I've been up for days and nights Through this crazy life But I'll sleep when I'm dead Until they pay me right My eyes are open wide But I'll sleep when I'm dead If you're drowsy, remain in a slumber My metaphors flow over ya head Like a bu*ton less jumper I can't sleep till I'm in the sky Like lightning and thunder Sometimes at night I wonder Is pursuein' this dream a blunder Or the best thing that I ever did I can't sleep or slip till I'm 6 feet under Hence the song I'll sleep when I'm dead You might only need money to survive But my life relies on a needle instead I wanna eat steak meals everyday I'm sick and tired of livin' on a diet Of beans and bread So believe what I said I'll sleep when I'm where I'll sleep when I'm what I'll sleep when I'm dead I've been up for days and nights Through this crazy life But I'll sleep when I'm dead Until they pay me right My eyes are open wide But I'll sleep when I'm dead I've been up for days and nights Through this crazy life But I'll sleep when I'm dead Until they pay me right My eyes are open wide But I'll sleep when I'm dead
