Fretblanket - Why Can't I Sleep lyrics

rate me

Why can't I sleep, am I getting it wrong?<br />

Stuck between the sheets, it can't have been that long.<br />

Staring at the ceiling, counting off days,<br />

Smoke a few seconds past and start it all again.<br />

Perhaps if I was face down, my hands on my ears<br />

Why, then I could resign myself, lie comatose for years.<br />

We all need comfort to cope with outside<br />

But it's been three weeks now and this bed still feels too wide<br />

And every which way I turn,<br />

Gives me more concern,<br />

I just want to rant and rave all night...<br />

It's all too quiet tonight, too dark out here,<br />

What am I doing outside at this time of year?<br />

I can do anything, plenty of silence to break,<br />

But no-one would notice man, no-one here's awake<br />

And every which way I turn,<br />

Gives me more concern,<br />

I just want to rant and rave all night...<br />

But tomorrow's a new day,<br />

I won't see it anyway,<br />

I'll be passed out cold at five.<br />

And I feel trapped behind the glass,<br />

Days become mere hours to pass<br />

People don't know I'm alive, tonight...
