"Sleeping With Sickness"

[lyrics by G. Brice]

it has me and i have it

dismissed imposition

trying to work, forced to

lying on my back feeling helpless, with things to do

with aches and pains

considering my health

the sweat from my temperature

making me tired and feel awkward

i close my eyes, live with the disease

im sleeping with sickness

the day gets hotter and the night seems nightless

my throat feels...too raw, feels rough

pain seems nothink these tablets can fix

sore neck, clouded thoughts and sharp turns

non-rested head....weiry eyes, breathless nose

considering my health

the sweat from my temperature

making me tired and feel awkward

i close my eyes, live with the disease

im sleeping with sickness

later i'll feel right

later i'll feel better

now i want to

kinda have to

sleeping with sickness

not really sleeping

odd hours with thoughtless thoughts

it's all part of me sleeping with sickness

away + towards
