Chaos creeps up behind me.
A tiger pacing back and forth.
It waits for me.
Prey for the hungry hunter.
Lack of sleep has put me here.
Sleeplessness tightens its grip on me.
Night after night.
I hate the glowing green numbers.
Three hours, two hours, one hour.
My sleep decreases with every passing night.
Am I forever doomed to this twilight torture?
Now is all there is for me.
Nothing they try helps.
No pill does its duty.
No remedy in sight.
Fear gnaws at me.
The tiger grows closer.
How much longer will it last?
What if it goes away completely?
I just want to sleep.
A tiger pacing back and forth.
It waits for me.
Prey for the hungry hunter.
Lack of sleep has put me here.
Sleeplessness tightens its grip on me.
Night after night.
I hate the glowing green numbers.
Three hours, two hours, one hour.
My sleep decreases with every passing night.
Am I forever doomed to this twilight torture?
Now is all there is for me.
Nothing they try helps.
No pill does its duty.
No remedy in sight.
Fear gnaws at me.
The tiger grows closer.
How much longer will it last?
What if it goes away completely?
I just want to sleep.
