Counting Sheep

My mind is busy
She won’t shut up
Saying things like
This ain’t really going anywhere
Just give it up

Do I play all her games?
Do I wait for a chance?
Just to hear me
After dark

When it’s late and she sleeps
When the peace starts to creep
When I’ve learned
To shut her off

Dream dream dream
Knock me out so I can be
Free free free
Counting sheep must be serene

But I don’t sleep anymore
Darken thoughts can’t ignore
Haunting me through the night
Insomnia’s the only peace I find

Dream dream dream
Dream dream dream

When will she go away?
Just leave me be
Why is my sanity the price I pay?
When I just want to dream

Do I run to a place?
Quiet mind for a chance
Just to hear me
After dark

When it’s late and she sleeps
When the peace starts to creep
When I’ve learned
To shut her off

Dream dream dream
Knock me out so i can be
Free free free
Counting sheep must be serene

But I don’t sleep anymore
Darken thoughts can’t ignore
Haunting me through the night
Insomnia’s the only peace I find

Dream dream dream
Dream dream dream
Dream dream dream
