The Bite

Trouble Sleeping

By Kington
I awake.

I open my eyes and the world is dark. I ache. I pain. An unknown pain racks my system. My breathing is heavy. My mind is racing but I think thats because I woke up with high brain wave activity.

I plug my headphones in my ears. Just trying to drown out the pain and get my mind to slow to a calm walk.

The cd player whirs to life. And seconds later a song plays........

You've been having trouble staying asleep
You been waking up at 4:12
You roll the voices over in your head
Then you try to put them neatly on the shelf

You watch the sun rise
You saw the darkness had no choice before the dawn
With your own eyes
And then you broke out laughing from a yawn

You said, "I'm so sorry I've been so down
I started doubting things could ever turn around
And I began to believe that all we are is material
It's nonsensical"

So you walk outside and everything's new
You're looking at the world with new eyes
As if you'd never seen the sky before this blue
As if you'd never seen the sky in your whole life
And then the phone rings
As it turns out you are already late
And now you're wondering
Is peace just a temporary state?


Switchfoot ah. "4:12". Too cheerfull. Wouldn't want the "awakening dream" to play next that would be just bad.

I jab the next key.

I'm treated to a vicously fun riff.

Burning down neverland
Scatter the ashes
White lines, black tar
The matches
Is this another dead by misadventure
Tell me what you got, what you really got
Hey hey
We'll rest in our graves
Lexington course your veins
Sleepers can't just wake the dead
When needles and lovers
Collapse on guilty beds

Fall asleep, don't fall asleep
Don't fall asleep
They lied when they said that the good die young
They lied when they said the good die young
Woah oh
They lied when they said the good die young
Stay with me
Stay with me tonight

Burning down bridges now
Scatter the ashes
Godspeed to all you're after
Is this a life left just to remember
Tell them who you are, who you really were
Hey hey
Kill yourself slowly over time (over time)
Fashion statement suicide (suicide)
She's still asleep in the Chelsea hotel
Bad turns to worse
And the worse turns into hell

Fall asleep, don't fall asleep
Don't fall asleep
God saved the eyes that are dim tonight
They lied when they said the good die young
Woah oh
They lied when they said the good die young
Stay with me
Stay with me tonight

Woah oh

They lied when they said the good die young
Woah oh
They lied when they said the good die young
Stay with me
Stay with me tonight
They lied when they said the good die young
Woah oh
They lied when they said the good die young
Stay with me
Stay with me tonight
