Lying Awake 03:29
the pillow case sweat stained stick to your face insomniac's dreamscape awaits Lying Awake the Jersey knits piss stained wet from the fear the terror tears of days awake Lying Awake sweet slumber escapes you skeleton quakes the shakes and the jimmy legs too Lying Awake the Sandman won't take you to the Dreamworld where the nightmares might cease Staring at the ceiling is getting a little older every moment my mind won't shut Stuck in this rut it's never gonna break as long as I stay here lying awake Lying Awake another mind takes you similar thoughts that cross into loss and madness Lying Awake the nervousness breaks you cold sweats some chest heaves and rubber knees dance Lying Awake the scent of detergents silently sweeps and creeps as the nasal bleeds itch Lying Awake the rodents and insects every wing flap toe tap makes you twitch Staring at the ceiling is getting a little older every moment my mind won't shut Stuck in this rut it's never gonna break as long as I stay here lying awake Lying Awake a single sound scares you maybe today's the day they might tear you to shreds Lie in your beds they'll be of no comfort neither king queen nor court jester sized Staring at the ceiling is getting a little older every moment my mind won't shut Stuck in this rut it's never gonna break as long as I stay here lying awake

Willy cries like an angel laughs like a devil when an ant hill swims in the rain fall apocalypse Says his grace with a greasy grim face when the tip tap tatter of the crack in the soffit drips over the window glass Ribbons of rippling light trickle passed all the sheet rock blockin his messages to the outside Willy screams at a rocking chair "GET YOU HIDE OUTTA THERE!" cuz nobody gets to rest where the monkey sits Dressed in the best red polyester vest a bugle blarin taps at the elephants stomping the carpet shag Tie the knot when the cat's bag in the bag of tricks a hand picked pyro technic light show "So be wary 'round Willy" that's what Momma said silly don't come close to what's wrong in Willy's head it surprises most who don't spend no time with the little guy So just smile and walk on by and don't you dare try to stare him in his criss crossed eyes I'd take it from me that you better be wary 'round Willy Willy works up an appetite by keepin up a tight grip on the ripped up shreds of his consciousness Scratchin fleas with homicidal tendencies added up with a kings own confidence equals a volatile Capped and bottled up shook up chemical imbalance at anyone who Willy walks by "So be wary 'round Willy" that's what Momma said silly don't come close to what's wrong in Willy's head it surprises most who don't spend no time with the little guy So just smile and walk on by and don't you dare try to stare him in his criss crossed eyes I'd take it from me that you better be wary 'round Willy
