Ode to an Insomniac

[Verse1] Lying in the dark and my mind begins to race Thoughts are running wild inside my brain. Did I leave the door unlocked did I turn off all the lights? Why this happens each night I can't explain. [Verse 2] Counting sheep don't help they all keep jumping way to high. White noise plays the sounds of ocean waves. Random thoughts keep nudging and my eyes they just won't close I can not find the the sleep my mind and body crave. [Chorus] I can't keep the thoughts at bay I can't relax and I don't sleep. In the quiet of the night they're all I find. I disconnect, I meditate, I even tried to medicate But like a ghost these random thoughts they haunt my mind. [Verse 3] I think about the universe and how fast time flies by A recipe that's low in fat and gluten free Odd art projects write a song where's that book that I misplaced They flash across my mind like words on a marquee! [Chorus] I can't keep the thoughts at bay I can't relax and I don't sleep. In the quiet of the night they're all I find. I disconnect, I meditate, I even tried to medicate But like a ghost these random thoughts they haunt my mind. [Bridge] Did I lock my car take out the trash did I feed the cat? All these random thoughts start running and sleep can't can't pull me back. If thoughts no longer keep me up at night will they be missed Or will I fade away and no longer exist. [Chorus} I can't keep the thought at bay I can't relax and I don't sleep In the quiet of the night they're all I find. I disconnect, i meditate, I even tried to medicate but like a ghost the thoughts they haunt my mind. [Outro] Insomnia I have sleep I cannot find but like a ghost the thoughts they haunt my mind.
