can’t sleep

Eyes wide open, but the world feels so heavy, Chasing all these dreams, but my heart ain't ready, Clock ticking loud, every tick feels like a warning, Battling my demons while the city keeps on snoring. Memories replay, like a film I can't rewind, Searching for the peace, but it's hard to find, Thoughts like thunder, rumbling in my brain, Got me feeling like I’m trapped inside this endless chain. Stars are shining bright, but they don’t light my way, Mind’s a battlefield, and I’m losing every day, Need to find the calm in this storm that I keep, But I'm wide awake, man, I just can’t sleep. Heart pounding heavy, like a bass in my chest, Counting every second, can’t seem to find rest. Dreams slipping by, like the smoke in the air, Chasing down the silence, but it’s never fair. Streetlights flicker, casting spells on my mind, Lost in the rhythm, but the beat’s unkind. Midnight confessions, in the dark I confide, Can’t sleep, can’t breathe, got nowhere to hide.
