It's Three AM

It's three AM
And I'm watching old reruns on TV
I've seen this episode once or twice
Nothing seems to matter to me
Been drawing X-Men in my sketchbook
I updated my website
Rather creep around the house at three AM
Than get into a fight
The parents are sleeping upstairs
Bother and sister are fast asleep
But I'm awake at three AM
Things are troubling me deep

I never sleep or I sleep too much
My appetite has faded
The shadows outside are dark
And inside my heart is shaded
It's three AM and I'm wide awake
'Cause no one else is stirring
I'm listening to Jewel
And my identity is blurring
Everyone is sleeping
It's quiet all around
But I jump at the silence
And freak if there's a sound

So it's three AM and I'm reading
The time is ticking by
Just a chance to get some work done
In the silent house I wonder why
At three AM the world is sleeping
And I enjoy the night
Never seen by the neighbors
Shrink away from the light
There's rings under my eyes and I'm ill
Eyes sting and I can't see
But it's three AM and I'm safe
From everyone but me

My thoughts flow free in my head
And so do all the others
Mind is working overtime
As my body shutters
It's three AM and very dark
Leaving me alone
Only time I can reveal
What is not to be known
I sit in the quiet, empty room
This is what I see as right
Now it's seven AM and as the world wakes
I say good-night
