Sleep Training

There was a time when I lived all by myself
And I could sleep 'til noon, make music all night

The house was dark and quiet, empty and cold
But I never got older
No, I never got older

I was free and helpless, lost in my craft
I didn't need caffeine to keep me on track

I didn't need routine or savings accounts
But I never looked down then
No I never looked down then

I traded all those freedoms
For the chance just to feel needed
The cost of the sensation
Is sleep deprivation

My eyes are old
10,000 years
The light is screaming
Behind my ears
My stomach sways
My memory fades
There is no me
If I don't get some sleep

I try to tell myself it's only a phase
And those are cracks of wisdom folding my face
And just because I feel sick most of the time
Doesn't mean that I'm dying
Doesn't mean that I'm dying

I tried just sleeping with my headphones on... but
My mind is screaming over every song...
What kind of remedy will knock me out?
I was never a pill boy but I fux with them now, ya'll

I've put miles on this body
Just trying to blow up this hobby
The price of my ambition
Is sleep deprivation

My eyes are old
10,000 years
The light is screaming
Behind my ears
My stomach sways
My memory fades
There is no me
If I don't get some sleep

(I'm getting zombied)
I'm on my feet still
(I'm getting zombied)
But I look like roadkill
(I'm getting zombied)
I'm a walking migraine
(I'm getting zombied)
Eternal back pain, come on!
