Staying Up
No food to eatAll the money's been wastedFrom last week
I can't even leaveSo I sleep in the basementMaking up rap beats
Hot cup of teaIt's four o'clock in the middle of the nightAnd I can't sleep
It's all on the peakSo bad I can taste itWhile it eats me
How can I sleepIf I don't have dreams?I just have nightmaresHow can it be?I still believeSomething is out there
Some part of meFeels a little bit nakedAnd empty
I'm stuck underneathA few dirty old blanketsTo comfort me
How can I sleepIf I don't have dreams?I just have nightmaresHow can it be?I still believeSomething is out there
How can I sleepIf I don't have dreams?I just have nightmaresHow can it be?I still believeSomething is out there
Then, there's a lightAnd I can see whyIm still alive
Mommy won't lieCause if she didI would've died
All the timeI sit and tryYou think I'd be down
Every nightI'm sick and why, ohI'm staying up this time?
How can I sleepIf I don't have dreams?I just have nightmaresHow can it be?I still believeSomething is out there
How can I sleepIf I don't have dreams?I just have nightmaresHow can it be?I still believeSomething is out there
