"I Couldn't Sleep" by Jesse Picknell

Most nights I could not sleep

Knowing I had reached my inevitable defeat

The days would pass

As would night

I didn't have the strength to put down the pipe

Always strung out never stayed in one place

Feeling like my life was a constant race

Disappointment and guilt fill my veins

I can't seem to hold on to the reins

Always wondering when I would get my next fix

I will do whatever it takes, even lies and tricks

This person you see, the one inside of me

Is a creation of this monster we call a disease
