• Falling asleep
    Can’t pay attention
    I think someone is talking
    It’s likely, but
    I don’t care

    Eyes fluttering shut
    I’m bored to death and
    The clock is ticking too slow
    Time is crawly like a snail

    Ref:
    Why can’t I get out?
    I need to for my sanity
    Why won’t they shut up?
    At least let me get some shut-eye

    Time is laughing
    Laughing in my face
    The clock is watching me suffer
    And won’t speed it up

    (Repeat Ref.)

    Bridge:
    And when its finally over
    I’ll be the first to leave
    And when she calls on me
    I’ll pull a trick out of my sleeve
    And try not to snore

    What keeps me alive
    Is knowing these people suffer with me
    At least I
    Can find respite
    In dreamland
    They’re not so lucky

    The worst part is
    I’m back here tomorrow
    What to do
    To keep from losing
    More of my soul?
    My future’s black as coal

    (Repeat Ref.)
