My legs twitch like they want to go somewhere
 My mind races like it's already there
 I say to those who feel obliged to care
 I can't sleep

                          
My hands reach, fiddle, and test something frightening
I tell them to stop, but watch, stomach tightening
 I don't know if this statement is enlightening
 I can't sleep

                          
I'm given pills; three there, four here, two now
 I'm told when to wake, stand up, share, now bow
 Despite this, I ask for more, yet somehow
 I can't sleep
