Analysis of Insomniac Slumber
I keep dreaming I'm awake
Clock on the wall loudly ticking
My image in a mirror makes me shake
Sweat on my brow constantly trickling
Propped up in a frozen position
My eyes reflection looking back at me
The room moves in a continuous rotation
Sleeping lightly with eyes open, it's what I see
