Tylenol PM

Sorry, I can't talk right now
you see I took a pill.
I was hoping I could sleep somehow
but I am twinkling still.

I've been trying to shut down by brain
but the fuse will not burn out.
The wheels sparkle like a nitrous train
whose scream echos my shout.

My eyes burn like a desert sad.
More red but just as dry.
My back hurts from trying to stand
as my stomach tried to cry.

It would be best if you'd allow
yourself to go away.
sorry, I can't talk right now.
I don't know what I'd say
