Perks of Insomnia - 08/29/2019

 My legs shake, my head spins
My stomach turns, I can't win
Stuck at my desk or resigned at home
Waiting for the sunrise alone
It's not love, it's not that deep
It's just nights when I can't sleep
But it's okay, now and then
Like when it gets to 6 a.m.
There's no one up but birds and me
And the morning's possibilities
I could sing or I could scream
I don't worry what I might dream
There nothing else quite like
Dancing in the day's first light
No one to ask "Are you okay?"
No need to think of things to say
Yeah, it's okay, now and then
The world's so quiet at 6 a.m.

There are some perks of insomnia
Like a certain euphoria
Got me singing “Jesus of Suberbia”
At the bus stop as the sun comes up
With no fear of who might hear or of
An onset of egomania
No hallelujah, no gloria
It’s just the perks of insomnia

It’s okay, I promise ya
There’s no need to worry because
There are some perks of insomnia
