No One Is Going to Sleep Tonight

Though you'll never say it
I feel like a burden
But I'm trying to lighten
Or I fulfill the term even more
Go try to save me
With strings to hold me up
Sure I've "made it this far"
But I won't be enough
You always try to fix me
It was some cosmic joke when
The punchline was that I
Always felt broken
I can't call you out
It means something else
I'm not strong enough to even mention

No one is going to sleep tonight
You'd thought it would wean off but you're just not right
No one is going to sleep tonight
Let alone even dream of some better time
No one is going to sleep tonight
You knew that was something I was going to write

I have a feeling
But I don't really want it
I should really save it
For some other better time when
Everyone can focus
But that might take a while so
Don't don't hold me to it
I, I can hide it
Forget being authentic
When I'm just trying to make it to the next day
As much as you

(They tell you to speak up until you do
In the abstract there's nothing wrong with you)

But someone wrote it down and called me out
But I told them to say nothing
I feel like a burden but I am not one
All I want is to keep it that way
They know what I am
They know what I do it for
These are not powers this is just something that hurts

Someone - someone - called me out
Someone someone wrote it down
And I thought I could get away with it
Slip away unscathed if I say what's expected
