G#           F#                Fm E D#
I'm having trouble trying to sleep
G#            F#               Fm E D#
I'm counting sheep but running out
G#            F# Fm              E D#
As time ticks by   and still I try
G#            F#             Fm
No rest for crosstops in my mind

Chorus:
E          D#
On my own here we go

My eyes feel like they're going to bleed
Dried up and bulging out my skull
My mouth is dry, my face is numb
Fucked up and spun out in my room

Chorus

My mind is set on overdrive
The clock is laughing in my face
A crooked spine, my senses dulled
Past the point of delirium

Chorus

My eyes feel like they're gonna bleed
Dried up and bulging out my skull
My mouth is dry, my face is numb
Fucked up and spun out in my room

Chorus
