The performance is dull, the drama is lost But the curtain won’t fall, the lights won’t shut off The story is tedious, the plot line long spent But the pages keep turning, no conclusion no end Past cemetery gates, rows of tombstones stand Reassuring reminder, sleep is at hand But the sun is rising, it calls to me Awake you will remain, insomnia life’s fee This body is my prison, the grave is my bed This world is losing, we’re all better dead
