2.45am - Wonderland 

2.45am - Wonderland

In the silent hours...
Sleep eludes me
I hitchhike from dream to dream
Transported by the deepest of thoughts
Yet no matter the journey i've taken...
My destination stays always the same
This Under-sized bed which I lay...
In the cocoon of darkness surrounding me
A clock ticks insanely, it's volume increased
Tick tok tick tok tick tick tok
Im sure that I heard a missing tok... Like an irregular heartbeat
Tick tok tick tok tick tok tick
Maybe I was mistaken
"Why am I listening anyway?"
My mind now deeply in wonderland
A crazy place full of useless thoughts
Where sleep shall never be taken...
As confusion within is chaotic
A purge of nonsense overflows
Like the clear out of any old attic
I escape through a hole whilst I'm counting
One sheep...  Two sheep... Three sheep... Me
I find myself in my tiny bed
And use "my method" of avoiding this place
A visualised flame that must never go out
Only snuffed by ridiculous thinking
Distraction is cruel as I start to drift
I stick out my thumb to the dreaming place
Where I'm escorted by the flickering flame
With the ghosts that are walking beside me... Tick tok tick tok tick tick tok
I heard it again... I am sure this time
"Did one of them trip?"
Tick tok tick tok tick tok tick tok tick
"Maybe it was my journeys end"
As I wake once again in my wonderland...
In darkness just as dense as before
My mind now counting every tick, every tok
Along with the sheep that leap on each
Carefully listening for the missing tok
Or for one of the sheep that may crash and fall
Sleep eludes me... Sheep confuse me
Then I fall back into my rabbit hole
Whilst tumbling towards the blinding light
Tick tok tick tok tick tick tok...
Beep beep beep beep beep
