Example - No Sleep For The Wicked Lyrics
It's worse by the day now, every time I lay downWords come alive in my head and they play loudIt's like they can't find a way outWanna pull the plug on their party, it's startingTo worry me, can't get to sleep when I wanna doHow would you feel if your lyrics just followed you?Everywhere you went from the street to the bedAnd repeated through the night everything you saidTried so many things, pen and a padBy the side of my bed but it's sending me madEvery time I recline, I decline to opineBut there's always a rhyme at the back of my mindTried sippin on bottles of wine when I dine,So sleep I can find when it's time for bedtimeRest my head fine, but it's just no useSentences now they forming queuesI reckon, It's worse me than bein heckledRight now my brains just a broken recordSleep diminishes, when I start a songAnd my mind won't stop cause I always gotta finish itAnd when that songs done through to the endThe same track starts all over againIt's like my mind can't function, needs words to munch onCame to a junction where traffic don't stopCounting sheep and they never ever goLosing sleep cause the words just flowSounds in my head like a radioLay awake all night, no sleep for the wickedSeems like the verse has become my foeAt war in my head and he don't wanna goTil I've laid him to rest in the studioStay awake all night, no sleep for the wickedThere ain't nothing that's appealing looking at the ceilingYour eyes wide open wishing you were dreaming(Dreaming) And still the words keep streamingIt's only ever stops when I put em to restThen I've shooken the stress, no lessPlus I've tooken the best take let's say I ever coulda takenLost weeks of sleep so I had to be patientYou could be forsaken for thinking I'm mentalI let it all out in the vocal booth,Syllables putting 'em to soulful useReleased from within this ain't a joke it's truthOnce I put em in a song, they can never bother meWhat the hell is wrong with me, I didn't choose itAbsurd, why I gotta lock these words in the musicSome would say I'm blessed with a talent and yesBut only when I'm dead will they give it a restTell me what's the reason I'm still fighting demonsI'm asking what is their significanceTell me what's the reason I'm still fighting demonsI'm pleading, I only wanna get some sleep
