[Verse 1]
The ceiling counts the hours
While the mattress holds me down
My eyes burn like a warning
But the silence makes no sound
I turn the pillow over
Find the same unquiet head
The morning keeps approaching
While the night refuses bed
[Pre-Chorus]
I close my eyes
The engine starts
A thousand thoughts
With sharpened parts
[Chorus]
I can't get enough sleep
The dark keeps taking more
I drag my bones through daylight
Then fight the night once more
I can't get enough sleep
My blood is running thin
If rest is where I disappear
I don't know where to begin
[Verse 2]
Cold water in the kitchen
Bare feet across the floor
The clock throws pale accusations
From its place beside the door
I wear yesterday's clothes again
The coffee tastes like rust
I promise I'll lie down tonight
Then break that promise first
[Pre-Chorus]
I close my eyes
The engine starts
A thousand thoughts
With sharpened parts
[Chorus]
I can't get enough sleep
The dark keeps taking more
I drag my bones through daylight
Then fight the night once more
I can't get enough sleep
My blood is running thin
If rest is where I disappear
I don't know where to begin
[Bridge]
Let the room stop spinning
Let the clock lose its teeth
Let one quiet hour
Come down over me
No plans, no fear, no future
No voice inside my head
Just a body finding mercy
Just a night that ends
[Breakdown]
Still awake
Still awake
Teeth clenched
Heart awake
Still awake
Still awake
I need rest
I need rest
[Final Chorus]
I can't get enough sleep
But I won't surrender here
I drag my bones through daylight
And face another year
I can't get enough sleep
Yet morning finds me still
I'll build a little silence
With whatever strength I feel
[Outro]
The ceiling loses color
The first bird cuts the gray
I never beat the darkness
But I made it to the day
