Example - No Sleep For The Wicked lyrics

rate me

It's worse by the day now, every time I lay down<br />

Words come alive in my head and they play loud<br />

It's like they can't find a way out<br />

Wanna pull the plug on their party, it's starting<br />

To worry me, can't get to sleep when I wanna do<br />

How would you feel if your lyrics just followed you?<br />

Everywhere you went from the street to the bed<br />

And repeated through the night everything you said<br />

Tried so many things, pen and a pad<br />

By the side of my bed but it's sending me mad<br />

Every time I recline, I decline to opine<br />

But there's always a rhyme at the back of my mind<br />

Tried sippin on bottles of wine when I dine, <br />

So sleep I can find when it's time for bedtime<br />

Rest my head fine, but it's just no use<br />

Sentences now they forming queues<br />

I reckon, It's worse me than bein heckled<br />

Right now my brains just a broken record<br />

Sleep diminishes, when I start a song<br />

And my mind won't stop cos I always gotta finish it<br />

And when that songs done through to the end<br />

The same track starts all over again<br />

It's like my mind can't function, needs words to munch on<br />

Came to a junction where traffic don't stop<br />

<br />

Counting sheep and they never ever go<br />

Losing sleep cause the words just flow<br />

Sounds in my head like a radio<br />

Lay awake all night, no sleep for the wicked<br />

Seems like the verse has become my foe<br />

At war in my head and he don't wanna go<br />

Til I've laid him to rest in the studio<br />

Stay awake all night, no sleep for the wicked<br />

<br />

There ain't nothing that's appealing looking at the ceiling<br />

Your eyes wide open wishing you were dreaming<br />

(Dreaming) And still the words keep streaming<br />

It's only ever stops when I put em to rest<br />

Then I've shooken the stress, no less<br />

Plus I've tooken the best take let's say I ever coulda taken<br />

Lost weeks of sleep so I had to be patient<br />

You could be forsaken for thinking I'm mental<br />

I let it all out in the vocal booth, <br />

Syllables putting 'em to soulful use<br />

Released from within this ain't a joke it's truth<br />

Once I put em in a song, they can never bother me<br />

What the hell is wrong with me, I didn't choose it<br />

Absurd, why I gotta lock these words in the music<br />

Some would say I'm blessed with a talent and yes<br />

But only when I'm dead will they give it a rest<br />

<br />

Tell me what's the reason I'm still fighting demons<br />

I'm asking what is their significance<br />

Tell me what's the reason I'm still fighting demons<br />

I'm pleading, I only wanna get some sleep
