stayed up again last night
got tired eyes
just couldn't shut out the light
and face the lies
i just stayed in bed and read
to occupy my head
and when the time arose to rise
i found myself with tired eyes
tired eyes
give me away
but i stay awake
throughout the day
tired eyes i think too hard
but i won't keep it in
a poet not a bard
got to spill it out
and share
even if you don't care
tired eyes i see too much
i say so and it is such
that i stay up all night
so that i've something to write
tired eyes it's all the same
tired mind
tired brain
tired of trying to play the game
tired of trying to make it rhyme
tired of trying to find the time
