Ooo, ooo

Ooo, ooo

Ooo

Yeah

Ooo

I know we're always talkin' about "Chasing Dreams"

Ooo

But how can I chase dreams if I can't even get any sleep?

Ooo

Let's talk about it

The lights are off but my eyes are wide open

Thoughts are flowin' through my mind but I am hopin'

This insomniac poem, this no-sleep ballad

Will cure it once and for all, cause I've just about had it (Uh-huh)

It's like

Words keep comin', I'm almost freestylin' in a mic (Yeah)

But I'm all alone and it keeps pilin' through the night (Ugh)

That's why I take every emotion that I've ever had

Ball up into a pen and point it at whatever pad

These thoughts and flows are kinda crazy

Cause your opinions have made me sleep-deprived lately

I swear, I can't take this any longer

With my emotions and time, I usually squander

I'll get stronger, I'll conquer, for now, my shots are pretty weak

This is an anti-nursery rhyme, forget Little Bo Peep

Instead, I lost my mind, my dreams I should at least try and keep

So Erin sing the hook while I try and get some much-needed sleep

Keep the lights on

For as long as possible

Scared of my mind

When I'm by myself

Runnin' out of time

Runnin' out my mind

Shadows on the walls

Insomnia keeps me up

Can't escape at all

Nope

I'm still up, this conscience nightmare is ironic

No sleep for 3 weeks, it's shakin' my world up, tectonic

But I'm not givin' up, this'll take as long as it needs to be

So I'm happily attackin' dreams, but first I need to tackle sleep

I'll be confrontin' you when you say I'm worthless

You've got some nerves, but this life is making me nervous

I'm hurtin', I'm burnin', I know it isn't workin'

When I'm up all through the night tryna discover my purpose (Huh?)

Never been the kid wearin' varsity letters

I was alone, earbuds in, dressed in off-branded sweaters

But certain reactions kept running me this way

They were right, no one told me life was gonna be this way

When

(Yeah)

Everything I pushed out is now back in

Everything I pushed out is now attackin'

Everything I pushed out now has impact and

Everything I pushed out is now rappin'

So

Here comes sleep time

For as long as possible

Scared of my mind

When I'm by myself

Runnin' out of time

Runnin' out my mind

Shadows on the walls

Insomnia keeps me up

Can't escape at all

Keep the lights on

For as long as possible

Scared of my mind

When I'm by myself

Runnin' out of time

Runnin' out my mind

Shadows on the walls

Insomnia keeps me up

Can't escape at all
