Ahhh the sweetness of insomnia.

lying in the dark
all alone in my room
hear the pitter pat of raindrops
falling down on the roof
watch the sky
light up quickly
hear the thunder roll on by
it's a little after midnight
and night is passing by

all alone with my thoughts
all alone in my room
enjoying the quiet time
before the morning's dew
tried to fall asleep
how long will it take
my body's aching and tired
but my mind's
still wide awake

light from my old television
is somehow strangely comforting
just like a good old friend
is hanging out with me
lying under cover
lying wide awake
eyes tracing the cracks in the ceiling
tell me how long
how long will it take
