Example - No Sleep For The Wicked lyrics
rate meIt'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
