I sleep at night but I'm wide awake
So i get no energy and my dreams are fake
Sore tongue and sore mind
Suffering inside but everybody sees fine
Not remembering any events in a day
Just a depressed happy kid trying to make a way
Tortured by thoughts that i think
Red eyes swelled shut, but without a blink
Walking without talking, but talking in my sleep
Not hearing my heart, but a lonely soft beat
Wait...
My heart is just like bait
Put it out there to get broken for a bigger prize
Thought i knew but it came to a surprise
Cant walk anymore but my feet can fly
These are the effects of drugs on a young mind
But i call it sleep walking...
