strings to give you funny sounds. Hit some open high E and B
strings during the outro between the chords.

Lyrics

I'm havin trouble trying to sleep
I'm countin sheep but runnin out
As time ticks by, still I try (Verse 1)
No rest for crosstops in my mind
On my own, here we go

My eyes feel like they're gonna bleed
Dried up and bulging out my skull
My mouth is dry, my face is numb (Verse 2)
Fucked up and spun out in my room
On my own, here we go

My mind is set on overdrive
The clock is laughing in my face
Crooked spine, senses dulled (Verse 3)
Passed the point of delerium
On my own, here we go

(Verse 2)
