People I Once Knew
Many sleepless nights I've spent,
Worrying what goes on
The people that I used to know,
Tell me that I've gone wrong
My music's good,
But, much too loud
My friends are second rate,
The hours I keep are bad,
Because I wake up late
They analyze me through and through,
But they cannot understand,
How anyone they used to know,
Can get so out of hand
But as they stare and wonder,
At this person gone astray
My mind recalls just how it was,
Before I changed this way
The days, when I was just like them
With habits, dress, and taste,
No indication at the time,
That I would go to waste
The people that I used to know,
Still haunt me, that's for sure
With sleepless nights, I spent no more
For I have found the cure
I'm told than with insomnia,
You simply count your sheep
So I counted people I once knew,
And soon I fall asleep
Goodnight.

So I counted people I once knew,
And soon I fall asleep
