My Brain Won'T Shut The Fuck Up (Feat. Tom Carradine & Adam Pitt)

My brain won't shut the fuck up when I try to go to bed
Suddenly all kinds of thoughts start racing round my head
Sometimes creative visions and sometimes just creeping dread
Or re-evalutions of the stupid things I've said
Lying in the darkness in the silence on my own
Trying hard to go to sleep and not look at my phone
Wanting to wake somebody but staring at the void instead
My brain won't shut the fuck up when I try to go to bed

My brain won't shut the fuck up when I want to go to sleep,
Thoughts of past embarrassments each night upon me creep,
Some random song from years ago gets stuck there on repeat
Or worries about the week ahead just make my want to weep,
Regulating temperature by flipping over my pillow
Convinced I need the bathroom but not able to go,
Trying everything from reading books to counting sheep,
My brain won't shut the fuck up when I want to go to sleep,

My brain won't shut the fuck up when I try to close my eyes,
Concerns I'd long forgotten about come back and say 'Surprise!'
Smartphone internet seems like a curse now in disguise
And the bed suddenly feels too small for someone of my size
Jealous of my partner who drifts off so easily
Turning over in frustration to watch them sleeping peacefully
Only managing to doze off just before it's time again to rise
My brain won't shut the fuck up when I try to close my eyes.
