night owl nightmare

hush little baby don't say a word
i ain't gonna buy you a mockingbird
and i know that it may sound rough
but baby that's the world

the big bad wolf is playing in the backyard
and very child's nightmare's right outside the front door
ain't no blanket gonna hide our heads
it's us against the world

moonlight minus melatonin
up again last night
staring up at the ceiling
it used to be a fight

i'll be up around four am
cussing at the sandman
oh sandman, won't you come and tuck me in

dreams that come from lack of sleeping
don't count as dreams
nonsense made from tired brain cells
where nothing's as it seems

i'll keep on staring blankly 
hoping for heavy eyes
oh sandman, i thought you were my friend
