No Sleep

Posted: Sun Jul 31, 2005 10:11 pm

So I havn't written anything for a while because I've had no need and nothing new to write about. Bare in mind I wrote this at 5am yesterday and it's 5am now... so it's relevent to me (like everything I write).

I know it's not realy my best work... but it has a few lines I like I guess...

Shut my eyes at night, but I never sleep,
Because I see you and the hope is a tease,
These arn't dreams, they're nightmares,
And this is my nightmare every night,
This is my nightmare every night,

I don't sleep because I don't like my dreams.
It's not that I'm affraid... I just realy don't like them.
I don't see a need cept for the pain to feed,
And it's always hungry,

I shut my eyes and dream, and all I can hear is screeming,
The sweat runs down my neck, my whole body's reeling,
I open up my eyes, and only then I realise,
The screamings stopped,
But my throat's bone dry.

I don't sleep because I don't like my dreams.
It's not that I'm affraid... I just realy don't like them.
I don't see a need cept for the pain to feed,
And it's always hungry,

I don't sleep because I don't like my dreams.
It's not that I'm affraid... I just realy don't like them.
And this isn't living this is barely surviving,
This isn't living this is barely surviving,

I don't sleep because I don't like my dreams.
It's not that I'm affraid... I just realy don't like them.
I don't see a need cept for the pain to feed,
And it's always hungry,

-Very cool, Tom. I hope this is the start of another writing spree for you, though I'm sorry they seem to be derived from bad times.

I don't have any problems with dreaming, but I do have sleep troubles as well, a lot of the time. If you didn't write this in a literal sense, than I'm just being an ass, and I ask you to excuse that. Still, I know what the feelings of sleep deprivation are like, and if you did write straightforwardly, you're definitely not alone. For instance, If you look at most of my posts, the times of day that I posted them were usually overnight.

Aside from that tangent, I really like this one. You're right about it possibly not being as good as some of your previous writings, but you've got a great writing style there, man.

Cheers, Tom!

any chance you could write that again without it sounding like someone with a broken keyboard typed it?

There are more types of music than rap/hip hop/urban or whatever you want to classify it as...

Hey guys,

I'm gonna' say this with the goal in mind, being far from trying to piss you off. Give En-En more of a chance. For all we know, there may be a good reason why he types the way he does, and this site isn't based around how somebody types. It's main purpose is to gather unsigned individuals who enjoy music. I'm not saying you guys are being assholes, or anything. I just think you should consider the possibilities, and also that some people can get offended easily. None of us could know if that applies to him, or what he's like offline.

Tom, you're a brilliant song writer (and probably a great musician), so you know I admire you for that. -And hereafter, you too, are very good at writing lyrics, and you have a cool personality. En-En is a good writer, as well, if you look at what he writes, even if it can be difficult to read. It's also obvious that he really enjoys music.

Now, you may think what I'm saying is something from a "garden of daisies" frame of mind, but I'm just backing him up, because I see his musical enthusiasm. If I ever felt the need to, I'd back you guys up too. If you end up looking down on me for saying all this, go ahead, but I've said before, I only try to be honest, and that's exactly what I've done in this reply.

Last thing... I was really "serious-sounding" in this reply, and I hate sounding serious. I would much rather prefer to be humorous. I'm trying to say, don't form some "all-serious" view of me based on this, cause' it's not too characteristic of how I usually am. Take what I've said for what you will, and I'm gonna' end this reply now. Cheers, and onion tears! ( Mr. Green

It's got a certain Nick Drake "Smoking Too Long" feel to it. Big fan.
