VERSE1
I lie awake when I sleep, yo it's amazingly sweet
after I pray on my knees, then the days become weeks
if you don't know, insomnia makes the greatest disease
if you can make history, you can taste victory, jeez!
I'll give you the power and you can blame it on me
surburban hell mowing the lawn and raking the leaves
the moment I'm gone I'm resting in peace
effortlessly, everything's depending on me
the air gets heavy on me so it crushes my shoulders
I stumble, I fall, and nothing is over
I'm stuck under a wall and can't break it
I'm wondering why, I can't take it
my escape takes me places in dreams and nightmares
and every man's faceless some strange shit,
chasing me straight to the basement
I'm waiting with patience, for the morning
it's boring, sittin alone in a small corner,
the strong forces come over me like a spell
intoxicating, I drop like hot potatoes
agnostic fables all across the table and I'm talking crazy
yo, inhale deep from the words of my breath
I never sleep, cuz sleep is the cousin of death

CHORUS
I never sleep, cuz sleep is the cousin of death
I ain't the type of homey made for you to start testing

VERSE2
quoth the raven nevermore
spending more time alone,
and when the score is evened up
I've seen enough of screaming fucks
I step towards the brink of insanity
catching me a couple million casualties
of the baddest breed of those I call family
can it be the tragedies of picking up the idiots
my words are your secrets you best believe it
so zip it up rip it up, don't ever say a word
or else we got a fisticuff, ridiculous
how I step into a nocturnal lost world
I be screaming like distraught girls,
when I talk thorough
water faucets dripping it's got me shittin
wiping the sweat off my nose I know I'm never blinkin
the blink of an eye makes me cry
I'm a king in disguise with criminal ties
subliminal lies in the city at night,
I scratch my temple whenever feelings arise, it's accidental
I sit down and think with a paper pad and pencil
to speak free and sweet dreams keep me raw
under a blanket facing cases of chasing my living shadow
whenever contemplating life, I'm winning battles

VERSE3
the blackest midnight strikes in red numbers
the twelve zero zero on the digital
the madness insight, crash the fragile insides
car headlights through the cracks of the window blinds
fuck today what's my fate, let the pills decide
call my name and I will arrive, villified
stabbed by the masses every chapter's tragic
I can't breathe just huffin and puffin
and I can't see through the fucking destruction
I'm running from nothing, chased by a ghost in white bedsheets
like snakes it strikes deadly it might get me, ya'll tell me
am I losing my mind, God help me, I'm not healthy
I need to be institutionalized, it's crazy
that I'm already doing the time, come save me
trapped six feet under a plaque with engravings
with the flowers beside me, every hour just drives me
to the edge, I'm gettin violent fighting my heavy eyelids
despite the fact I'm laying back gettin ready to die, shit
