Dream Ivory Lyrics

The lyrics "Eating away at my head, counting the sheep in my bed" vividly describes the singer's restless state of mind. The singer's mind is consumed with thoughts, preventing them from drifting into sleep, and they try different techniques to distract themselves from their thoughts.
