When I lay down to sleep
I don’t get rest, I can not count sheep
My mind, these feelings it’s all a big heap
Life moves fast , can’t keep up with the upkeep
But I try to keep moving, keep on trudging, but I’m knee-deep (I’m knee-deep)
I can’t think right now, I can’t concentrate, Can’t think straight
All I do, I do for my family regardless
All the drinks I had, that’s shits in the past
But that’s all I had to help with the pain, being teargassed
Felt like I was on my own (all alone)
My friends surrounded me, offered help
of course I passed, said I’d outlast
I was soon outclassed and outcast
But this wasn’t the end for me, steadfast
When I lay down to sleep
I don’t get rest, I can not count sheep
My mind, these feelings it’s all a big heap
Life moves fast , can’t keep up with the upkeep
But I try to keep moving, keep on trudging, but I’m knee-deep (I’m knee-deep)
[instrumental]
Here I am again, bottom of the bottle, feeling wobbly
Thought this was in the past, not the right hobby
Had to change things up, pick my self up
Started writing these songs, so you can all singalong
Drive along, it was all wrong , have to be head strong
I’ve been up, smoking all night long
Now I’ve got this song to help cheer me on (cheer me on)
When I lay down to sleep
I’ve not learned how to count sheep
But how to control the heap
Life moves fast, move out the way, these people can’t keep up (can’t keep up, up)
And I keep on moving, keep on trudging, never be caught snoozing, I just keep on rhyming and pursuing
(Oh, wa oh)
(Oh)
(Oh)
When I lay down to sleep
I don’t get rest, I can not count sheep
My mind, these feelings it’s all a big heap
Life moves fast , can’t keep up with the upkeep
But I try to keep moving, keep on trudging, but I’m knee-deep (I’m knee-deep)
I keep moving, keep on trudging, but I’m knee-deep (I’m knee-deep)
