"Counting Sheep" represents the racing thoughts that accompany anxiety disorders. For those that suffer from this clinical illness, these thoughts feel impossible to stop, especially in the middle of the night.
lyrics
Counting Sheep
Jump in the vortex
Of endless anxiety
Far as the eye can see
No use resisting
Just go on existing
No one sees underneath
Sleep, oh, sleep
Thoughts that creep
Up in the night
Oh, leave me be!
Sleep, oh, sleep
Counting sheep
All night long
Please let me sleep
Been this way
Long as I remember
Thoughts they glow like embers
Down deep dark tunnels
Pour it in a funnel
And get some peace for once
Worried about…
What am I worried about?!
About everything and anything!
Anything on my mind
Can’t help it
It’s the reason I lose sleep…
