6/22 Afternoon: Sleep (Or Lack Thereof)

Thanks to irishdemp594 for the suggestion!

Lyrics:
I have had insomnia since i was very small
sometimes i'd only sleep an hour or get no sleep at all
but when i was in middle school my doctor put me on some meds
that are truly wonderful and make me wanna go to bed

(chorus)
an hour before i go to sleep i gotta take my pill
about 10 minutes after that it starts to go downhill
my eyes get weak i slur my speech i say some random shit
i'm fast asleep within an hour my roomate can vouch for it

the reason why i'm telling you is cuz i'm on a new perscription
it makes me hungry all the time and yesterday i had a caniption
i was hyper all day long last night i didn't sleep a wink
so tomorrow i'm calling my doctor and telling her what i think

(chorus)

this afternoon i'm going to the mall with my best friend
to do some shopping for my trip we'll walk for hours on end
i'll burn off all my energy and hopefully later i'll sleep
and if i don't i'm gonna be really really really really pissed

(chorus)
(chorus)

[avantgardeallie]

whats your process to writing a song?

do you write lyrics first?

write the music first?

[butterbeerwrocks]

i usually write them both at the same time... it makes it so the words and music fit together!

[dotbooker]

Ha! I CAN vouch for all the stupid shit you say lol

[butterbeerwrocks]

i'll give you a hint...

HOW MANY EGGS ARE IN THIS BOX???!!!

[devilishlypure]

Oh man oh man oh man why did I ever leave you. I miss this.

[letmks]

I'm impressed.

You should totally make a CD of all the songs you write for this challenge

and btw, you are really articulate.

[ruithael]

If you still take those meds you should make a series of songs written while on them. That way you have loads of songs like "I Am A Goat." That's a great song. Rock on.

Oh, just shut up. I'd like to say more, but I think that you speak for yourself on the lameness factor.

[ducttapechik]

Wowzers, you can sure sing fast!!! This is really catchy and cute, I like it!!! (and jjitt...well, I'd rather not have to be the one to say anything...I just wish I could give a thousand "thumbs-down"s on our comment)

[Xbox360fana]
