[Verse]
Underneath the flickering streetlights, I wait,
Chasing thoughts that never come too late,
The walls close in like they're breathing too,
(I can't escape it) oh, what can I do?

[Pre-Chorus]
Pacing circles in my mind,
Can't leave these heavy eyes behind,
Whispers in the dark, they creep,
(Ahh, too deep!) No time for sleep.

[Chorus]
Oh, it's crawling, crawling up my spine,
Twisting every second, stealing time,
Can't breathe, but I fake it fine,
(Yeah!) A sonnet for a restless mind.

[Verse]
I count the cracks in the ceiling above,
Wrestling shadows I can't shove,
The hours melt, the night drags on,
(Still awake) 'til the break of dawn.

[Bridge]
Hold my breath, let it go,
(Oh no!) here comes the undertow,
Silent screams, but no one sees,
(Oh please!) Can't find the peace I need.

[Chorus]
Oh, it's crawling, crawling up my spine,
Twisting every second, stealing time,
Can't breathe, but I fake it fine,
(Yo!) A sonnet for a restless mind.

[Outro]
Just a moment, let me catch my breath,
Before it pulls me close to death,
But I'll keep running, running still,
(One day) maybe I'll climb that hill.
