Less Rest for the Restless Songtext
von Iron Chic

Haven't slept in what feels like forever
Slow down, it's now or never
I've got a chance to make it work
Wide-eyed, dreams about dreaming
My mind, this darkened ceiling
Might as well be outer space


'Cause I've been awake too long
Don't know when things went wrong
I've got to sleep this off
Don't let me sleep too long
'Cause I've been afraid too long
Why do I go along?
My time has finally come
Don't let me sleep too long,
I might never wake at all

Fist clenched, silently seething
Calm down by the light of the TV
Like a now-familiar face
My hands quit shaking
I continue quietly aching
Waiting for the night to fade


'Cause I've been awake too long
Don't know when things went wrong
I've got to sleep this off
Don't let me sleep too long
'Cause I've been afraid too long
Why do I go along?
My time has finally come
Don't let me sleep too long,
I might never wake at all
