Lyrics

Today exhaustion was a joke
A word too small to hold the weight
Of all the stolen energy
That wrapped itself around my wake
I greeted night like an old friend
Embraced the sheets that promised rest
Hoping sleep would stitch me back
Into something close to my best
For once I closed my eyes
And drifted without a fight
Three hours later
Just past midnight
My body's tired
My thoughts are bright
Wide awake
In the dead of night
The traffic hums
The owls call again
The possums own the darkness
While I'm trapped inside my head
Three hours later
Here I am again
All day I chased a fading spark
Dragged myself from task to task
Borrowing tomorrow's strength
Just to make the present last
Now the world has gone to sleep
The streets are quiet, still and thin
But somewhere in the dark
My mind has come alive again
I turn and watch the ceiling
As the hours slowly slip
Three hours later
Just past midnight
My body's tired
My thoughts are bright
Wide awake
In the dead of night
The traffic hums
The owls call again
The possums own the darkness
While I'm trapped inside my head
Three hours later
Here I am again
How can sleep be all I want
And all I cannot keep?
How can I spend a day half-dreaming
Then lose the night to being awake?
The moon hangs over empty streets
The clock keeps moving on
And every minute pulls me closer
To another heavy dawn
Three hours later
Just past midnight
My body's tired
My thoughts are bright
Wide awake
In the dead of night
The traffic hums
The owls call again
The possums own the darkness
While I'm trapped inside my head
Tomorrow I'll wear
The cost of tonight
Three hours later
Wide awake again
