Dangerous Dog Act - Can't Sleep

I can't sleep
It's all those images, the company I keep
It lights a fire and it burns my soul
I'm out of control

I feel bad
I'm wracked with pain but it's the best I ever had
I stole the shadows of the evil and the bad
To satisfy my soul

A progressive hypocrite works hard as any man
Don't know how I got here, but I got here, so here I am

I bought a ticket for a one-night stand
Then everything just got so out of hand
And now I've nothing to show

So I get mad
I chase my targets of the feeble and the sad
They fall asleep and I took everything they had
I ate their dreams whole

Can't sleep
I got this habit and it's really not that cheap
It causes problems with the company I keep
I got to let go

Kill all the dreamers
Work hard, work hard
You ruined my life and then you say 'only you know the reason why'
You sized up my world, then you let me go
And I'd tell you but you already know
You saved my life but you killed my soul

I'll end up crying on The Late Late Show
Confess to sins that they already know
I got to let go

Can't sleep
It's all to do with all the substances I keep
I think I hide them but they're never out of reach
I've got to let go

This real addiction is in the heart of every man
He shouts from the skies, declares himself free
But it's image only people will see
Not the man that he claims to be

Because he puts on such a great, great show
While fires dying deep within his soul
It's part of saying hello

Losing control
