Yes. This is the correct time to upload a song about insomnia. Lots of thanks to Chompy for working with me on this and giving it a beautiful guitar track.
Based on this familiar image/series twibooru.org/680688, this is a song about wasting the opportunity to dream about my sweet Derpy by staying awake. This is a bad thing. I think I ought to go to bed now.

Song is available for download here: mediafire.com/file/trc9yl403zle7lh/Five+Fifteen+WAV.mp3/file
Naming my mp3 files "WAV;" the absolute state.

The day’s never over
The work’s never done
The night’s getting older
At the nadir of the sun
But the weight pressing on my shoulders
Moves the clock to quarter one
When I slip below the covers
And my lullabies are sung

Singing lulay, lulay
Leave the word behind
Lulay lulay
You’re running out of time

With deep golden eyes
And a bright shining smile
I just want to lie here
And hold her a while
I know the dawn’s coming
But I’ll stay in her wings
For that short span of midnight
Until 5:15

Like clockwork celestial
The earth in its sphere
Spins onward perpetual
‘Til days become years
My labouring breaths and the
Gray by my ears
Say “Only in rest will
You outrun your fears.”

Singing lulay, lulay
Leave the word behind
Lulay lulay
You’re running out of time

With deep golden eyes
And a bright shining smile
I just want to lie here
And hold her a while
I know the dawn’s coming
But I’ll stay in her wings
For that short span of midnight
Until 5:15

Escapements unwinding
The bells start to ring
The day comes to find me
I’ve slept not a wink
I’ve wasted my time
And I’ve wasted my dreams
Another lost midnight
And now 5:15

Singing lulay, lulay
Leave the word behind
Lulay lulay
You’re running out of time

With deep golden eyes
And a bright shining smile
I just want to lie here
And hold her a while
I know the dawn’s coming
But I’ll stay in her wings
For that short span of midnight
Until 5:15
That short span of midnight
Until 5:15
