Lyrics

It's the middle of the night and I can't sleep
My brain is fried by the thoughts I keep
It escalates, to say the least
This daily drive to starve that beast
Of obligations and bills to pay
With heavy traffic every way
The never-ending questions in my head
Keep me awake when I lie in my bed

If I could take some time I could find my way
Let the clouds disappear in the light of day
Let choices stand in a clear array to me
I'm lost within the twilight zone
With a vision that is not my own
With boundaries that are still unknown to me
I just want to breathe

There's darkness here that still surrounds you
And tears me up when I try to break through
I need a better foothold to see the light
Through scattered visions obscured by the night
The clock screams that it's time for me to go
I'm just too tired and I'm moving too slow
I should question why I can't get far
I can see the shadows for what they are

But if I take some time I could find my way
Let the clouds disappear in the light of day
Let choices stand in a clear array to me
I'm lost within the twilight zone
With a vision that is not my own
And the boundaries that are still unknown to me
I just want to breathe
