Hypnic Jerks

I'm slipping away to call collect, sir My quarters are set aside Not a payphone in this realm could dial out to a landline I got no patience for this bullshit I got a vision on both sides They keep pulling on me every time I try to sleep on my bad side That food's not edible I can't sift through this in a year Breaking my back to fall asleep without any fear Breaking my neck to fall, ah No sleep when it's clear Tell me where not to look and I won't look at all (You're already gone) Take my eyes and flush them out Paste them to the wall (You're already gone) Moments before REM, I jerk up and sweat (You're not better yet now) Count my sheep, one, two, three, four, five And back to sleep, now clutching to my dreams
