clinophobia
the awful truth well maybe it
aint the dreams
and it aint the life
that keeps me from going to my bed
maybe i dont want to lie
alone all night
with these crazy thoughts running through my head

i been thinking of
the lady in the house
down the road by jct. 17
i been wondering how
she ever goes out
when she lives, really, on the edge of dream

does she sleep at nights
does she burn the lights
does she have a job she goes to in the day
and how about that dog
well is he lost in fog
or is blind and dying from decay

i been thinking that
i never want to sleep
i want to keep on riding on a train
i been doing fine
i got that number nine
but i'm thinking that i might pass out from the strain.

the awful truth When the sun starts going down in the west
well I'm counting hours until that final test
that time i lay me in my bed to sleep
but sleep well it don't come to me

well i think that is something subconciously inside me that's making me afraid of all these dreams inside my head
last night you were cheating me the night before i'm homeless tonight i'm feeling dreams that i were dead
so i try to hold off sleeping, counting down the hours, pressing strings along the neck to make the sound
and i'm wishing you were here with me, wishing i had somebody, but there's nobody around.

now i'm reading all my notes from all the girls in high school
and reading all my old messages from you
and i am reading what you wrote about him last october
before you knew me.

and i am
waiting for the time when
i can't keep my eyes open
and i'll have to take some solace in the sheets
but i'll have you know right now
i'm so afraid to sleep i can hardly breathe.

the awful truth I know i've felt more for this than falling from any height
and i don't doubt there's no way to ever make this right
and i know i know i know I can beat the fright
but I can't help it all these clinophobic nights.
