i can't sleep i can't sleep i am overwhelmed with grief every time i wake that i must face the thief who takes away my face the place where i exist the real me, not a fake my hands on the controls till the moment i awake friends i'll never meet the wife i'll never take the strength that i don't feel all mine to create here beneath these sheets the robbery takes place and everything i am all goes up in flames what i spend my life to build is ripped down every day anywhere the light can reach is nowhere i am safe so i can't sleep
