A good night's rest
my bed is straight and crisp
a fresh white pillow for my head
hospital corners have been pleated
uniform at there best
and with all the pills they give me
I still can find any rest
as night begins to fall
and evening reaches it's end
behind my unshut eyelids
mr angrys my only friend
counting sheep has never helped me
slaughtering demons takes to much time
and a simple 40 winks keeps getting
harder for me to find
