Sleep

by Poster Children

on RTFM (1997)

I am sweating bricks tonight
Face down in a pool
Making waves from the dull edge
Blowing every fuse

System crashes, locking up
Running out of RAM
Outstared the sheep
I'm still jumping hoops at six a.m.

I can't sleep anymore
I can't sleep anymore

Tracing circles, spinning webs
In the vacuum
Visibility decreased
And autopilot on

The silence is beyond repair
The birds begin to sing
Perspective lost as I approach
The point of vanishing

I can't sleep anymore
I can't sleep anymore

Forward fast the hours collapsed
Counting every breath
Rewind the tape and hit erase
Before it starts again

Channels don't go off the air
No static to be found
Electric with the steady shock
Of voltage seeking ground

I can't sleep anymore
I can't sleep anymore
I can't sleep anymore
I can't sleep anymore
