I recently posted a number of videos that promote my new album Bittersweet Parade by discussing and explaining the behind the scenes perspective. I’m taking each song, one-by-one and giving it some time in the spotlight. Enjoy the collective media behind I Get No Sleep – track #3 (and my personal favorite) off of my new album Bittersweet Parade.

LYRICS TO “I GET NO SLEEP” by TYLER STENSON

I get no sleep
Try as I might
I don’t see no day
But there’s sure as hell no night.

No, it’s somewhere in between
The Dawn’s haze and dream
And Nothing’s ever seem more real
Than the ceiling that I see.

I get no sleep with these trains in my head.
As far as I can see, I’ve got tracks running down both sides.
What started as a steady hum-
Became a war-time drum
And eventually north and southbound collide.
I get no sleep with these trains in my head.

Then, history repeats
And the city never sleeps
And I can hear those trains
No matter how soft they creep.

Can you hear them world?
The wolves are at my door;
I’ve got nothing to my name
And still they ask for more.

I get no sleep with these trains in my head.
As far as I can see, I’ve got tracks running down both sides.
What started as a steady hum-
Became a war-time drum
And eventually north and southbound collide.
I get no sleep with these trains in my head.

I get no sleep with these trains inside my head.
