Can’t Sleep

Maybe I've been slipping back, heading south, carsick on a Tuesday Missing cash, blacking out, heartless in a few ways Shit for luck, elbows shredded, I held things steady like too late Please calm the fuck down, I'll do whatever you say I get it, I get it, I'm living too hard and it's time that I stop it But rising on up and then tumbling down, well it's part of the process Bar tabs on a hot night in a cold basement You say I'm crazy but I feel amazing My mother told me that the world has got its plans I wanna hold 'em 'til they burn right through my hands Don't ask me questions 'cause I'm tired of confessing And I know that it's not much to say But I swear that I'd like to change I can't sleep, I hope I stay awake 'Cause I've been running, running, running all day Long nights, no peace, I feel like everybody's eyes on me I can't sleep, I hope I stay awake (stay awake) 'Cause I've been running, running, running all day Long nights, no peace, I feel like everybody's eyes on me I can't sleep, I can't sleep I can't sleep, I can't sleep Maybe I've been freaking out Moving quick, burning the wick at both ends Screaming loud, stupid shit, scaring all of my old friends Fell down on Bedford, hope that it's not broken Safe to say I might have had too much of some of these potions I love you so much, I'm staying here all night Don't want to get up I don't want to stop, I don't want to close my eyes I'd rather not give a fuck and end up with some scars The night's just long enough for me to build it all and let it fall apart My mother told me that the world has got its plans I wanna hold 'em 'til they burn right through my hands Don't ask me questions 'cause I'm tired of confessing And I know that it's not much to say But I swear that I'd like to change I can't sleep, I hope I stay awake 'Cause I've been running, running, running all day Long nights, no peace, I feel like everybody's eyes on me I can't sleep, I hope I stay awake (stay awake) 'Cause I've been running, running, running all day Long nights, no peace, I feel like everybody's eyes on me I can't sleep, I can't sleep I can't sleep, I can't sleep My mother told me that the world has got its plans I wanna hold 'em 'til they burn right through my hands
