I Grow Tired Lyrics

Another sleepless night

Another endless fight

Taming the heartache

That's keeping me awake

The bone that I chew on

The tale I carry on

Should have been thrown away

By the end of the day

I think I know what is required

I've tried many infusions

In the end I just grow tired

Of my 2 a.m. delusions

I grow tired of my pillow

It's been a lousy friend, at best

When I was feeling very low

It refused to give me some rest

I grow tired of the ceiling

It hasn't been inspiring at all

It might as well been falling

Giving me a wake-up call

Many times, I've tried

To push those thoughts aside

They always outnumber

My longing for slumber

Should I try again

Would it be in vain

Will I feel well disposed

To keep my eyes closed

Now I'm not sure what is required

But I can feel the frustration

In the end I just grow tired

Of my 4 a.m. delusions

I grow tired of the techniques

I've been trying since childhood

Counting the sheep didn't fix

The nature of my midnight mood

I grow tired of the sunrise

Finding its way into my bed

Reminding me of my demise

At the hands of my own head

I'm hanging on to the belief

That some effort on my part

Could help me get some relief

Before the day is supposed to start

I grow tired of my pillow

It's been a lousy friend, at best

When I was feeling very low

It refused to give me some rest

I grow tired of the ceiling

It hasn't been inspiring at all

It might as well been falling

Giving me a wake-up call

I grow tired of the techniques

I've been trying since childhood

Counting the sheep didn't fix

The nature of my midnight mood

I grow tired of the sunrise

Finding its way into my bed

Reminding me of my demise

At the hands of my own head
