[Intro – low, spoken over faint rain sample and slow hi-hats]
Yeah… tired as hell… body screamin’ rest…
But the mind? Nah… it got other plans…
Oklahoma nights, same ceiling, same curse…
[Verse 1]
Drag myself through the day like weights on my ankles
Eyes half-mast, coffee don’t work, energy tanked, bruh
Yawnin’ at red lights, head noddin’ like I’m ‘bout to fold
But the second I clock out, the real fight takes hold
Hit the sheets at ten, body beggin’ please
Limbs heavy concrete, but my thoughts on a spree
Stare at the fan blades slicin’ shadows on the wall
Countin’ rotations like they gon’ make me fall
Brain replayin’ every dumb thing I said last week
Every bill unpaid, every goal I didn’t reach
Tired so deep it hurts, but sleep? Ghosted me
Like I’m payin’ rent in this bed, but peace evicted free
[Chorus – catchy, repeatable, half-sung/half-rapped hook]
Tired all day, but can’t sleep at night
Body crashin’, mind racin’ under neon light
Lying in bed, eyes wide, prayin’ for black
But the thoughts keep comin’, no turnin’ back
Tired all day… can’t sleep…
Tired all day… can’t sleep…
Pillow prison, sentence never complete
Tired all day… still can’t sleep…
[Verse 2]
Toss left, toss right, blanket twisted like my guts
Phone glow burnin’ retinas, scrollin’ through the “what ifs” and “buts”
Shoulda said this, coulda done that, why am I like this?
Regret on repeat, playlist on infinite
Clock ticks louder than my heartbeat now
2:47… 3:19… 4:02, damn, how?
Sunrise creepin’ like judgment through the blinds
Another day zombie-walkin’, losin’ my mind
Dreams tease me from the edge but never let me in
Just fragments of peace I can’t begin
Exhausted soul, but wired brain won’t quit
This ain’t livin’, this is survival script
[Chorus]
Tired all day, but can’t sleep at night
Body crashin’, mind racin’ under neon light
Lying in bed, eyes wide, prayin’ for black
But the thoughts keep comin’, no turnin’ back
Tired all day… can’t sleep…
Tired all day… can’t sleep…
Pillow prison, sentence never complete
Tired all day… still can’t sleep…
[Bridge – slower, more spoken, beat drops to minimal kick and piano]
They say count sheep… I count failures instead
One for every dream deferred, every tear unshed
Body’s bankrupt on rest, overdrawn on hope
Lying here broke, wide awake, at the end of my rope
Just want the off switch, just want the fade
But the mind’s a warden that won’t let me escape
Tomorrow I’ll fake it again, smile through the fog
But tonight? Tonight I’m still… still…
[Final Chorus – build back slightly, then fade to quiet reverb]
Tired all day, but can’t sleep at night
Body screamin’ mercy, mind puttin’ up a fight
Lying in bed, starin’ up, waitin’ for the break
But the gray just lingers, no mercy, no escape
Tired all day… can’t sleep…
Tired all day… can’t sleep…
(quiet, trailing)
Still can’t… sleep…
