Sleepless

feeling like I am ten years old

scared of staying home alone

checking every closet in the house

analyzing household sounds

i wish i had a neighbor

not just woods and a backyard river

neighborhood watch is a sleeping pill

i gotta move out of the tall green hills

this paranoia is my destroyer

it hits at night in a sleepless fright

this paranoia is my destroyer

ill find a girl for company

or every night have an open house party

people could crash on floors in rooms

so i can sleep when i see the moon

this paranoia is my destroyer

it hits at night in a sleepless fright

this paranoia is my destroyer

this paranoia is my destroyer

6 AM the sun is coming up

now i can drop all this acting tough

maybe i'll sleep until 9 or 10

i'll wake up and pretend it never happened

this paranoia--my destroyer

will return tonight ,another sleepless fright

this paranoia is my destroyer

each and every night another sleepless fright
