From the recording Sleepless Sigh
This track is about 8 years in the making with Steve's keyboard licks stealing the show. I updated the lyrics in 2025 to the final finishing touches on them.
Lyrics
Work pressure on my mind
Don’t wanna get behind
The plans the boss is makin’
Are liberties he’s takin’
Worry’s what I’ve come to know
With him in charge of the show
I’m having trouble letting go
So I’m lyin’ here in bed,
Can’t get no peace inside my head
My days are always busy
The pressures make me dizzy
How I roll is try to take control
Gonna have to let it go
Don’t ask why, give a sleepless sigh
I look outside at the dark street
Nothing's moving, no one to meet
Sleep won’t descend my new best friend-insomnia blues
I cannot hold it in
Maybe I cannot win
Sometimes you’ve got to try
Although it might make you cry
And there’s no way to deny
Been hard to find the real me
Don’t wanna lose integrity
So I’m lyin’ here in bed
Can’t get no peace inside my head
My days are always busy
The pressures make me dizzy
How I roll is try to take control
Gonna have to let it go
Don’t ask why, give a sleepless sigh
Traded my sleep for one last thought
Each battle I won, was hard-fought
Remaining ghosts I can’t refuse-Insomnia blues
