lyrics

Let me think. Hang on. I go to bed late. I always think I’m going to go to bed early but I always look at the internet until 1 or 2. I have to brush my teeth and take my lenses out. I have a routine for that. I have to turn the tap on and wait for ages for the hot water to come through and then have to put the cold on ever so slightly to stop it from scalding. Then I have to soap up my hands and it’s a bit medical because it has to be when you’re touching your eyes. Then I have to rinse them really well so I don’t get soap on the lenses. Yes. I always start with the right lens then pop it in the case but you’re always supposed to do that anyway. Once the lenses are out I turn off the hot tap and the cold one’s still running and I do my teeth like that. Then I put on my glasses so I can see. That’s about it really. I’ll probably go back to the internet for a bit. I have 2 duvets and 6 pillows. Is that too excessive? How many pillows do you have? I can never sleep if i only have 1 pillow. It must be at least 2. I’ll either fall right asleep or…I have this thing when I’m trying to sleep. I have to visualise myself in small enclosed pod thing. Like a sleeping chamber inside a huge industrial construction of some sort. It seems to help me fall asleep.
