The Nest

The nest gets loud as I lay in bed
There's a horrible buzz inside my head
I'd say I should die before I wake
But no matter how many pills I take
I just can't seem to make it hush
I pray the Lord my soul to crush
Get up to grab some more zzzQuil
Forget the water just take the pill
The nest gets stirred and I want to scream
I want to wake up from this horrible dream
I fall to the ground with collapsing knees
Succumbing to sleep and the sound of bees.
