Stuck Powered On
[Verse 1]
I lay down for the night, and rest my weary eyes
Hoping tonight that things might change
But in this darkness, my thoughts start to multiply
And sanity slowly slips away
[Pre-Chorus]
And as the sun starts creeping through the cracks between the shades
It calls me out to battle through another day
[Chorus]
And I just need one more hour to sleep
Sweet relief from the demons in my mind
I toss and turn, but still nothin' seems to work
Can't turn off these nervous thoughts
And though I'm shutting down, my mind's stuck powered on
[Verse 2]
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
[Pre-Chorus]
And as the sun starts creeping through the cracks between the shades
It calls me out to battle through another day
[Chorus]
I just need one more hour to sleep
Sweet relief from the demons in my mind
I toss and turn, but still nothin' seems to work
Can't turn off these nervous thoughts
And though I'm shutting down, my mind's stuck powered on
[Bridge]
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
[Chorus]
I just need one more hour to sleep
Sweet relief from the demons in my mind
I toss and turn, but still nothin' seems to work
Can't turn off these nervous thoughts
And though I'm shutting down, my mind's stuck powered on
