I like the build-up Late night and I'm still up
Tired eyes but I still put coffee in my cup
As if the cafe is enough to keep the body from dying
My mind is still trying, Hawking all these songs like I'm talking
With my eyes and, sound disguising To keep quiet so my neighbors don't call
Me out The tenth damn time and they have a point
High thoughts roll another joint Like this pencil I just sharpened to anoint
This new piece of paper to scribble up a savior try to coin
A phrase, give this idea another layer Eraser, when my standards are betrayed
Per the agreement that I made In the tenth damn grade
When the addy focused thoughts like a laser And my mind won't go to sleep
As much as I want it to Cause nothing good happens after two
And my mind won't go to sleep As much as I want it to
Cause nothing good happens after two Nothing good happens after two
I like the raindrops Same sound as when my brain pops
Off So present for a second makes the pain stop
My sleep game softer than a teddy Hold steady then I'm ready
Shaky hands bested by the heady Haze of smoke curls like waves on the jetty
Hope to boop a Betty Send a little texty
One I won't act on Not with 3am as the backdrop
And misery loves company Accompany my similes with facsimiles
Of my past props Like a quick trip or a fast stop
Easy come, easy go Rising through the ash of
This lack of sleep It isn't fooling me
It's just how I act up Damn why's my ass still up
Cause my mind won't go to sleep As much as I want it to
Cause nothing good happens after two And my mind won't go to sleep
As much as I want it to Cause nothing good happens after two
No, nothing good happens after two Nothing good happens after two
No, nothing good happens after two
