Let's Burn The Midnight Oil

(while pulling all-nighters)

Crumpling eyes..
Drooping eyelids..
degenerative consciousness..
swaing mind..
with a profound sickness.
these are tough times
looking down at a long night..
sunrise is for the weak..
-------------------------------
Why is this so difficult?
focus mind..focus..
nicotine..do your thing
I'll never divorce caffeine..
just let me get through this night
let me redeem myself
-------------------------------
Insomnia wrapping me slowly
around itself
Let's burn the midnight oil
late hours of awakening..
goddamn soul searching..
words playing around
in front of me.
But sleep is for the weak
but dazed and confused is what
i am.
Give me knowledge
Give me re-awakening
Something for my eternal gratification
give me a ray of hope
A better tomorrow
As this night is getting
harder and harder to get through
Let's burn the midnight oil.
