Musical Accompaniment:
Sweet sleep, you have abandoned me
I lay awake like an amputee
And feel the pangs of my phantom heart
Wondering where this fell apart
So many things lost in the fire
No longer certain of my desire
I try my best to put it out of my mind
But I'm tempted by the thought of pushing rewind
In many a bottle I have confided
Hoping in the morning it will have subsided
But the anguish returns ever anew
With emotions and thoughts I cannot construe
Like some great tumultuous hurricane
This heartache is making a mess of my brain
And it plagues me every night I'm in bed
Like a neutron bomb going off in my head
I try my best to fight it but I'm no match for its persistence
Though there are ways to escape the pain if I dare to go the distance
Sometimes I wish it were tangible so I could look it in the eye
Before I close mine one final time and wish the world goodbye
