Even Sleep Is Exhausting

Invaders raging around my fortress
I don't notice, I don't notice
Breaking in just to steal my focus
I don't notice, I don't know this

Testament of trope for the way things are
Experiment of expectation, a strong false start
Lately we're all in the park after dark
Hanging on the last remark

Enemies rest on the brink of warfare
I'm unaware, I'm unaware
Hanging back just to see me go bare
I'm unaware, I'm unaware

Of the neverending mile that lies ahead
A catastrophic rendition, a lifelong defense
And we haven't just built it up in our heads
It can't all just lie within
