의미 없는 안대 속 두 눈은 깜빡이지
잠들지 못하는 밤 눈과 귀는 닫았지만
찾아오는 불안과 천 가지의 잡생각
Insta 속 세상이 궁금해져서
괜히 또 phone을 켜
보다 만 drama가 아쉬워져서
'Cause
I can't sleep, I can't sleep no more
시간은 벌써 AM 4 밖은 밝아져 가도
알람 없이 I'm already awake
I can't sleep, I can't sleep no more
무서운 악몽이라도 반가워
머릿속은 다 wasted
아침이 없는 세상으로 가줘
I can't sleep (yeah)
I can't sleep, I can't sleep no more
I can't sleep
I can't sleep, I can't sleep no more
I can't sleep, I can't sleep no more
무서운 악몽이라도 반가워
머릿속은 다 wasted
아침이 없는 세상으로 가줘
방 안 가득 모닝콜 반쯤 몸 일으키고
붉어진 눈 틈 사이로 눈물 대신 eyedrops
Feeling like a vampire
어지럽게도 빠르게 돌아가는 세상
나에게만 느려
Sleeping pills 잘 데워진 차 따위로
벗어날 순 없어
'Cause
I can't sleep, I can't sleep no more
시간은 벌써 AM 4 밖은 밝아져 가도
알람 없이 I'm already awake
I can't sleep, I can't sleep no more
무서운 악몽이라도 반가워

무서운 악몽이라도 반가워
머릿속은 다 wasted
아침이 없는 세상으로 가줘
어지럽혀진 방이 신경 쓰여
괜히 또 불을 켜
흘러 버린 시간이 아까워서
밤을 지새워 난 (밤을 지새워 난)
I can't sleep, I can't sleep no more
