Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I can't get to sleep
I think about the implications
Of diving in too deep
And possibly the complications
Especially at night
I worry over situations
I know it will be alright
Perhaps it's just imagination
[Verse 2]
Day after day it reappears
Night after night my heartbeat shows the fear
Ghosts appear and fade away
[Verse 3]
Alone between the sheets
Only brings exasperation
It's time to walk the streets
Smell the desperation
At least there's pretty lights
And though there's little variation
It nullifies the night
From overkill
[Verse 4]
Day after day it reappears
Night after night my heartbeat shows the fear
Ghosts appear and fade away
Come back another day
[Verse 5]
I can't get to sleep
I think about the implications
Of diving in too deep
And possibly the complications
Especially at night
I worry over situations that
I know it will be alright
It's just overkill
[Verse 6]
Day after day it reappears
Night after night my heartbeat shows the fear
Ghosts appear and fade away
Ghosts appear and fade away
Ghosts appear and fade away
