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 to stop it

But rising on up and 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 till 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

'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'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 all fall apart

My mother told me that the world has got its plans

I wanna hold 'em till 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

'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, I can't sleep

My mother told me that the world has got its plans

I wanna hold 'em till they burn right through my hands
