It's 3AM
And I am laying wide-awake
And I can’t sleep for the noise inside my head

The world vibrating
With a cruel cacophony
Flooded with the thoughts my mind has bled

The restless furor
Of a thousand racing thoughts
Swarms around me like a vulture circles prey

In the darkness
No one else can hear a sound
But I am deafened by this ceaseless disarray

I could scream myself to sleep
If it would shatter the illusion
But I can't give in to this
It's the noise that makes me human

Waking life
Like a movie on a screen
Running backwards as the film starts to unthread

A wall of violence
Bounding forward through the peace
With no regard for what might lie ahead
