Scrolling mindlessly through my phone every night
Soulless eyes staring at the screen set to bright
But barely keeps away the looming darkness with its light
A never-ending battle it will always have to fight
Echoes of a message from a friend unseen
Caught up in the glow of a lifeless screen
Losing my mind in this digital machine
Forgotten what reality might mean
Lying awake I cannot sleep
Heavy thoughts they start to creep
In my mind so dark and deep
Doomed to a life of dreamless dreams
Notifications hit like drops of rain
Always on the phone but too tired to open them
Searching for escape but it's all the same
Still trapped in this endless and sleepless game
An insomniac caught in a world of pixels
Too scared to look away in case my mind fractures
Cannot face the waiting shadows whenever the light flickers
Afraid to close my eyes of the thoughts my mind captures
Lying awake I cannot sleep
Heavy thoughts they start to creep
In my mind so dark and deep
Doomed to a life of dreamless dreams
Night after night the same routine
Lying in bed staring at the lit up ceiling
Phone in my hand while aimlessly scrolling
Lost within this dreamless dream
