Overkill

Why can't I sleep???

It's been three nights now, and I've maybe slept a grand total of three hours. It's driving me fucking insane. I haven't been around this week, but that will change starting today--seeing as how I can't sleep anyway.

Here's something suitably cryptic for you... anyone remember that old Men At Work tune called Overkill? That sums up my feelings at the moment quite nicely. I know song lyrics are a cop out, but it's been a rough few weeks;

"I can't get to sleep
I think about the implications
Of diving in too deep
And possibly the complications

Especially at night
I worry over situations
I know will be all right
Perhaps it's just imagination

Day after day, it reappears
Night after night, my heartbeat shows the fear
Ghosts appear and fade away

Alone between the sheets
Only brings exasperation
It's time to walk the streets
Smell the desperation

At least there's pretty lights
And though there's little variation
It nullifies the night
From overkill

Day after day, it reappears
Night after night, my heartbeat shows the fear
Ghosts appear and fade away
Come back another day

I can't get to sleep
I think about the implications
Of diving in too deep
And possibly the complications

Especially at night
I worry over situations that
I know will be all right
It's just overkill

Day after day, it reappears
Night after night, my heartbeat shows the fear
Ghosts appear and fade away
Ghosts appear and fade away
Ghosts appear and fade away."
