[C#] It's the [E] same each and [D] every [A] night.
[D#] Glare at [E] my screen with [G] two big [A] bloodshot eyes.
I'm [E] stuck self [C#m]-torturing.
My meds are failing [A] me.
[E] Internal clock and [C#m] smitterings [G#] can't fix this.
I'm [C#m] hopeless.
My eyes are [D#m] stapled [A] open wide.
As I lay down [E] on my side, I am bouncing [G#] off these
[C#m] walls.
[D#m] [A] [D#m] [F#m] [G#]
[C#m] [D#m] [A] [G#]
[C#] No, [C#m] this is my every [G#] [D#m] instinct.
[C#m] Unprovoked [G#] assaulting of my co-chancellors.
[C#m] Me and POTS-TV are enemies.
Seeking static surrounds my mind.
I'm losing time in realizing that after days of [E] thought that I'm stuck self [C#m]-torturing.
My meds are failing [E] me.
[F#m] Internal clock and [C#m] smitterings [G#] can't fix this.
[C#] I'm hopeless.
My eyes are stapled [A] open wide.
As I lay down [E] on my side, I am bouncing [G#] off these walls.
[C] I'm [C#] focused [A] on clock.
Time stands still but [E] I cannot.
I just trap [G#] myself in bed.
I can't go to [C] sleep when [C#m] I am dead.
[G#] Stalking myself.
[B] Blood in my blood is [F#] so intense.
[A] As the sun begins to rise, [B] I can barely [C] shut my [C#] eyes.
In [A] grave, the [G#] weary is next.
[F#m] Laughing at everything [F#] I see.
[A] My sanity is less.
[B] Just tell me where [C] my time was.
I'm [C#] losing it.
Attention, all [Em] insomniacs.
[C#m] Please raise your [F#m] right hand.
[C#] And [C#m] kindly repeat after me.
Why can't I [Am] sleep when [C#] I am [G] [E] [F#m]
[G#] [G] [E] [F#] [G#] [G] [C#m]
[E] [F#m] [A] dead?
Because I'm stuck [B] self [C#m]-torturing.
My meds are failing [E] me.
Internal [B] clock and [C#m] smitterings can't [G#] fix this.
I'm [A] hopeless.
My eyes are stapled open wide.
As I lay down [E] on my side, I am bouncing [G#] off these walls.
[C#] I'm [D#m] focused [A] on clock.
[F#m] Time stands still but [E] I cannot.
I just trap [G#] myself in bed.
I [C] can't go to sleep when [C#m] I am dead.
