I can't get to sleep

I think about the implications

Of diving in too deep

And possibly the complications

Especially at night

I worry over situations

I know will be alright

Perhaps it's just imagination



Day after day it reappears

Night after night my heartbeat shows the fear

Ghosts appear and fade away



I can't get to sleep

It only brings exasperation

It's time to walk the streets

Smell the desperation

At least there's pretty lights

And though there's little variation

It nullifies the night

From overkill



Day after day it reappears

Night after night my heartbeat shows the fear

Ghosts appear and fade away

Come back another day



I can't get to sleep

I think about the implications

Of diving in too deep

And possibly the complications

Especially at night

I worry over situations that

I know will be alright

It's just overkill



Day after day it reappears

Night after night my heartbeat shows the fear

Ghosts appear and fade away
