[verse 1: hayden forbes]
the lights are off but my eyes are wide open
thoughts are flowing through my mind but i am hopin’
this insomniac poem, this no sleep ballad
will cure it once and for all cause i’ve just about had it
it’s like
words keep coming, i’m almost freestyling in a mic
but i’m all alone and it keeps piling through the night
that’s why i take every emotion that i’ve ever had
ball up into a pen and point it at whatever pad
these flows and thoughts are kinda crazy
cause your opinions have made me sleep deprived lately
i swear i can’t take this any longer
with my emotions and time, i usually squander
i’ll get stronger, i’ll conquer, for now, my shots are pretty weak
this is an anti nursery rhyme, forget little bo peep
instead, i lost my mind, my dreams i should at least try and keep
so lauren sing the hook while i try and get some much-needed sleep

[chorus 1: lo]
keep the lights on
for as long as possible
i’m scared of my mind
when i’m by myself
running out of time
running out my mind
shadows on the walls
insomnia keeps me up
can’t escape at all

[verse 2: hayden forbes]
nope, i’m still up, this conscience nightmare is ironic
no sleep for 3 weeks, it’s shaking my world up, tectonic
but i’m not giving up, this will take as long as it needs to be
so i’m happily attacking dreams, but first i need to tackle sleep
i’ll be confronting you when you say i’m worthless
you’ve got some nerves, while this life is making me nervous
i’m hurting and burning, i know it isn’t working
when i’m up all through the night trying to discover my purpose
i’ve never been the kid wearing varsity letters
i was alone, earbuds in, dressed in off-branded sweaters
but certain reactions kept running me away
they were right, no one told me life was gonna be this way
when everything i pushed out is now back in
everything i pushed out is now attackin’
everything i pushed out now has impact and
everything i pushed out is now rappin’

[chorus 2: lo]
here comes sleep time
for as long as possible
i’m scared of my mind
when i’m by myself
running out of time
running out my mind
shadows on the walls
insomnia keeps me up
can’t escape at all

[verse 3: g riff]
i’m too tired for sleep, gotta forget the sheep
i’m weak, my mind’s hot, settin’ fire to sheets
like why not? i could die any week
this is what i do every night, it’s the realest of me
at least the part i don’t have to fake to be
alone in my bed and i’m really free to
–
–
thinking of the days where i laid in the gr-ss
i miss being a kid but he lives in the past
those times were fun but they can’t ever last
these days, it just flows away, way too fast
doesn’t matter we’re nothing but fragile gl-ss
trust me, life’s too short, it could end in a snap
so, love each other and say “f it!” to the cl-ss
do something real with your life don’t just sit on your -ss
