about

A country lament about sleeplessness

lyrics

Why's it always 3 a.m.
when my thoughts like tar turn black
These broken possiblities
and thing I can't take back
A sabre tooth once proud and bold
struggles to be free
But there ain't no shaking loose of this
While I lie here and bleed

Why's it alway 4 o'clock
Like quicksand things get worse
The more I think
the more I sink
with every vain outburst
The ground below me slips away
as I grasp at what I need
But there ain't no branch for me to climb
While I lie here and bleed

Everynight, I try to go to sleep
I get lost in these reveries and thoughts that keep
Me speaking to some spectre
or the thoughts trapped in my head
Where I don't know what is worse
What's done or what is said

Why at five do I strive
To make this all make sense
Like hacking through some jungle vines
that just have grown to dense
And as I search for sustenence
From which my soul can feed
No there ain't no sense
To none of this
While I lie here and bleed

No there ain't no sense
To none of this
While I lie here and bleed
