For all intensive purposes I'm dead
The alarm clock sets my fate and tonight this place means nothing
Just concrete walls dressed in photographs of people I've never met
These are the things you think about when you can't get to bed

But I've heard it said that the toughest times will end
But I've seen enough to know that those are just
Flimsy affirmations from your friends
So I'll take what I can get,
From another night laying open eyes
Thinking about the reasons why I'm alone again

With every tick this clock it takes
I'm lying helpless underneath the sheets closing my eyes bears no escape
For troubled minds these dark rooms are getting smaller by the day
These are the longest nights of your young life so plan accordingly

Can't sleep, won't sleep

But I've heard it said that the toughest times will end
But I've seen enough to know that those are just
Flimsy affirmations from your friends
So I'll take what I can get,
From another night laying open eyes
Thinking about the reasons why I'm alone again
