about

Getting old, can't sleep, and thinking about Iron Maiden all at the same time.

lyrics

When I close my eyes, I don't sleep, I don't dream
Trying to get meaningful rest is like swimming upstream
What used to be early is now way too late
And the 24th hour is by far the longest of the day

Because it's two minutes to two minutes to midnight
And every minute feels like a lifetime
Yeah it's two minutes to two minutes to midnight
It's really late, and I'm still wide-eyed

11:56 didn't used to be late
Now I'm watching the clock, I'm wide awake
And falling asleep is like an endless mountain to climb
While running on a giant hamster wheel of time

Because it's two minutes to two minutes to midnight
And every minute's an eternal lifetime
Yeah it's two minutes to two minutes to midnight
It's dark outside but my brain's still burning bright

Because it's two minutes to two minutes to midnight
And every minute feels like a lifetime
Yeah it's two minutes to two minutes to midnight
It's really late, and I'm still wide-eyed
